By March 31st, we need your support in raising $3,000 of critical funding.

We will compete in April in the North Star Regional Competition at the University of Minnesota Mariucci Arena. We hope to raise the funds needed to register and compete in a March event as well, in Winona, Minnesota. Preparing for two competitions takes our problem-solving skills to the next level as we improve on our robot for each competition, and provides a deeper experience in skills learned for all members of our team.

We rely on the generous contributions of supporters like you to help fund critical expenses such as robot parts, event registration, and shop tools. Without this community support year after year, we cannot continue to fulfill our mission of bringing proven STEM educational opportunities to our community. Your generosity makes this unique opportunity possible for the young people of Woodbury. We thank you for your leadership in supporting this cause!

Join us in our mission to provide a world-class STEM education.

Being a part of the Fighting Calculators helps today’s students learn vital skills they will need to become tomorrow’s leaders. Every year, students from the Woodbury Math and Science Academy work together to build and program a competition robot from scratch, learning invaluable skills along the way. Students in grades 9-12 learn to manage projects, run teams, market, fundraise, and, of course, build a robot. The process strengthens their technical skills, such as mathematics, computer coding, and computer-assisted design (CAD), and also nurtures soft skills like problem-solving, leadership, and communication.

Robotics is an exciting and impactful way to put into practice STEM and leadership skills outside of classroom settings, and encourages participants to pursue critically needed career pathways and use these skills to impact the world.

In the last two years, our team has led new initiatives for robot design, brought strong guidance into imagery and brand design (for which we won a Team Spirit Award in 2024), and developed new methodologies for training and teaching students on essential skills.

You can help us make the 2026 season a great one!

By investing in robotics, you help students turn curiosity into innovation—building STEM skills, leadership, and resilience while opening pathways to in-demand careers and lifelong community impact.

We sincerely hope you will consider making a gift of any size to help us meet our critical fundraising goal by February 28.

We cannot thank you enough for funding our team in this essential STEM endeavor.
