Overview

Saints Robotics is a non-profit senior high school extracurricular activity. Every year, we compete in a competition run by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization founded by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway Scooter, to encourage students to pursue careers in math and science.

Financial

Unfortunately, FIRST is unable to provide financial aid to individual teams. It therefore falls upon us to accrue the necessary funds for numerous purposes: the entrance fee into the competition ($5,500), construction materials for robots ($2,000), associated travel expenses to Regionals ($500), and other miscellaneous necessities, such as purchasing tools and safety equipment. Fundraising cannot alone account for this, and part of FIRST is to encourage students to contact corporations and other organizations to raise funds.
