We would love your help, however you are able to contribute. Running a robotics program costs money, and while we are eligible for some grants, our program is thriving beyond expectations and we need funds to ensure this success continues in the years to come.
Volunteering your time and talents (you can serve as a coach for any level, or as a mentor for our middle school team, which deals with more complex engineering and coding challenges).
Asking your employer if they would sponsor SPAA Robotics (some larger companies, like Boeing, John Deere, and Toyota have FIRST-specific grants that are offered yearly). See PDF letter
Connecting us with local professionals who might be willing to mentor the students.
Sponsoring our robotics program (your name/logo will appear on our T-shirts as well as possibly elsewhere!)
Thrivent grants can be used to sponsor the SPAA robotics program (if you have questions about this, please ask!).
Donating/purchasing specific items as needed (i.e. if the FTC middle school team is in need of a windows laptop to run their code).
