Help Get CHS Robotics to the World Championships!

Campaign Update 4/3/25: Checks totaling $15,350 have been received by the district and deposited! The goal has almost been met! 

Any funds received over the goal will be collected for future robotic competitions. Please stay tuned for updates!

Thank you all for your most generous spirit. We all have a lot to be proud of!

Chatham High School’s robotics team, Artemis 6621, has earned a spot at the 2025 FIRST Championship happening April 16-19 in Houston, Texas and they need your help to get there! The team is fundraising post-haste to cover the cost of the trip and is accepting donations now through April 8. 

This is a world-level competition that Chatham qualified for through their alliance winning the FIRST NY Tech Valley Regional competition held at MVP arena in Albany March 27-29. They are the only high school robotics team in Columbia County and are proud to be one of the smallest teams competing. Artemis 6621 is currently ranked 9th in NYS out of 150 teams, 96th nationally out of 2,930 teams, and 122nd in the world out of 3,695 teams! 

The District will be funding the registration costs. In order to get to Houston, the team has the goal of raising at least $35,000 through donations from our community. These funds will pay for the team's travel, hotel, meals, transportation of their robot and tools, and other related expenses.
