Why do we need your help?

STMA Robotics is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 84-3854964) receiving zero school district funding. We rely entirely on student fees, fundraising, and business sponsorships to support 125+ K-12 students annually.

Our Track Record & Impact:

  • Community Engagement: Active outreach through hands-on our annual Build-a-Bot workshop, local community demos and events.
  • FRC (Team 7028 - Binary Battalion): 3-time FIRST® World Championship qualifier (placing 5th in the world), Curie Division Champion, 2x Regional Winner, 2x State trophy winner, and recipient of the FIRST® Impact & Engineering Inspiration awards.
  • FTC: Expanded to 10 active teams, earning top honors (Inspire Award) with multiple teams advancing to the State Championship.
  • FLL: Hands-on STEM programs for elementary students in grades 1-6.

Where Your Support Goes: Operating costs cover FIRST® registration fees, competition robot parts, team materials, and travel (transportation, lodging, and meals) for regionals and championships. Your support ensures no student is turned away due to financial need.
