Every Tuesday and Thursday, seven extremely dedicated and passionate girls gather to design, build, and modify our robot. In addition to engineering, we also spend time planning fundraising opportunities as well as outreach activities to bring STEM into the world outside of our robotics team. This is our fourth year participating in FTC, a robotics competition, and we hope to continue a trend of success following a wonderful first few years where we won multiple awards, including a Judges’ award, Motivate award, and a Think award that allowed us to move on to the state level competition. The robotics program at our school has given us invaluable experiences that have taught us how to be resilient in the face of adversity and how to create innovative solutions to complex problems. In addition, the atmosphere created by being in a single sex STEM community has allowed us to challenge ourselves in a comfortable environment with educators who support girls’ ambitions in STEM. To continue this, we would definitely appreciate having some of the biggest names in STEM sponsor our team. Here’s how you or your business can help:
Donations of tools, materials, and other items are more than welcome. We are also extremely interested in finding mentors who are willing to help us to better realize our ideas by providing guidance and a few hours of their time.
Your donations would help us not only to use more efficient parts and build better robots, but the impact of your name behind our team is immeasurable. We are an all-girls robotics team and have unfortunately found that the ratio of girls to boys at competitions is abysmal, and the girls who are on teams are often treated unequally. After seeing this, we really want to encourage girls who often show interest in STEM but aren’t awarded the same number of opportunities as boys to find and participate in STEM activities. Having a sponsor like you would help to both inspire girls and help us reach out to girls who aren’t aware of the STEM opportunities offered within their communities. Every contribution helps and it would make a world of difference if you donated!
