This is our rookie year in the FIRST® Tech Challenge robotics program. Our team is registered through Minnetonka Community Ed and composed of Minnetonka High School students.
Our season is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors and donors who invest in the lives of these students providing a trajectory of career launching skills in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). This is in addition to the positive life skills of communication, cooperation and gracious professionalism. As the founder of FIRST® stated, ‘This is the only sport where everyone can go professional’ and ‘Kids build robots, robots build kids’.
Our budget to cover robot parts, materials, snacks among other expenses is over $10,000.
