WHY DO WE NEED SPONSORS
Sponsorships are crucial for the success of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). They provide financial support to cover team registration fees, robot parts, competition travel, and other expenses. Without sponsorships, many teams would be unable to participate due to limited financial resources.
Sponsors also contribute equipment, materials, and resources necessary for building robots, such as motors, batteries, tools, and software licenses. Access to these resources is essential for teams to build functional robots and fully participate in the competition.
Moreover, sponsors offer vital expertise and mentoring to teams. Engineers and professionals work directly with students, teaching them skills and guiding them through the design and building process. This mentorship is crucial for the students' learning and development.
Sponsorships provide valuable networking and collaboration opportunities. Sponsors organize workshops, seminars, and networking events where students can interact with industry experts, learn about career opportunities, and expand their knowledge beyond the competition.
Lastly, sponsorships offer team recognition and exposure. Sponsors' logos can be displayed on team uniforms and robots, and public acknowledgment and media coverage may be provided. This recognition boosts team morale and can attract further sponsorship, creating a positive cycle of support.
In conclusion, sponsorships are crucial for the success of FTC. They provide financial support, resources, mentorship, networking opportunities, and team recognition, enabling students to participate fully and gain a well-rounded educational experience.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS
Even bigger thanks to Transocean for helping us kickstart our journey. Without the support of Transocean this team would just be a dream, thanks to the help of the cooperation, we were able to have enough funds to be able to buy the highest quality material when making our robot.
