Despite our club being student-run, we absolutely could not do everything we do without support from our parents! Parents can provide a wide range of things, all of which are extremely appreciated and needed, to keep our club running strong. Below are some possibilities for how to help us:
Sponsorship

Materials
We require building materials for the robot, game elements, and more. Some needed materials include: lumber, polycarbonate, and aluminum.
Mentorship
Not only is adult advice and mentorship extremely important in our process of building the robot and maintaining our team, but we require adults to oversee woodshop operations and help make things such as game elements.
If you think you can be of any help to our team, PLEASE reach out! While past experience in FRC, engineering, STEM, etc. are very useful to us, just an interest in our team and your involvement in helping us thrive is just as needed. Our mentorship needs include Business (Publicity, Fundraising, Merchandise), Electrical Engineering, CAD, Mechanical Engineering, Machining and Prototyping.

Food
Long after-school meetings mean we have lots of hungry students! Snacks help keep us energized and focused, and larger meals for build-season weekend meetings provide lunch for when we’re at work all day. Below are some suggestions for foods:
SNACKS (individually packaged, non-perishable snacks): Chips, fruit snacks, protein/oat/nut bars, Cup of Noodles, popcorn.
LUNCH: We currently don’t need lunch, since we are still in curriculum season. We will send out a SignUpGenius once build season starts and we need more food.
Carpools and Chaperones
Competitions can be far away, and busses can be expensive. We do not want to require all students to find their own transportation to events and competitions, so we heavily rely on parent volunteers to drive students to events and chaperone overnight competitions. More information will be released later, once competition season comes around.
