Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

Your generous donation will directly support 80+ current Shaker Robotics students and enable our volunteer mentors to continue their mission of molding our students into the future STEM leaders that our community needs. Robots aren't cheap! Shaker Robotics incurs many significant costs each year including tools, materials, competition fees, transportation and lodging. Your generous support makes this possible!

If you are looking for other ways to support the team please contact us at team2791@gmail.com

We are currently looking for more technical mentors. However there are many other ways that people can help!

Thank you for your support!
