ADROIT

A donation to support our high schoolers’ journey to the FIRST Robotics World Championship is an investment in the next generation of innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers. The cost is $1,500 per student, covering travel, lodging, and competition fees.

This opportunity allows them to showcase their hard work, collaborate with global teams, and gain hands-on STEM experience that will shape their future careers. By contributing, you’re not just funding a trip—you’re empowering students with the skills, confidence, and inspiration to become leaders in science, technology, and engineering. Help us make this once-in-a-lifetime experience a reality for them!

Introduction:

Hello, and welcome to our GoFundMe page!

We are Team 7525, the Pioneers, and we need your support to continue our mission of inspiring and preparing the next generation of innovators. We are a proud part of ADROIT, a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting diverse communities and providing students with the practical, emotional, and critical intelligence needed to succeed in future industries and make a positive impact on their communities.

Mission:

ADROIT's mission: To empower students with STEM mentorship and work-based learning opportunities through a curriculum based on the FIRST Robotics program. This program not only exposes students to the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics but also instills in them the values of teamwork, innovation, and community engagement.

Team 7525's mission: Uplift underrepresented communities by offering them meaningful experiences in STEM and encouraging them to pursue STEM in higher education, through the FIRST® Robotics Competition."

Why We Need Your Help:

We are passionate about what we do, but organizing and participating in robotics competitions comes with its fair share of expenses. This is where we kindly ask for your support. Our goal is to raise $75,000 to sponsor students to attend these competitions, ensuring that no student is left behind due to financial constraints.

How Your Donation Will Make an Impact:

Student Sponsorships: Your contribution will directly support students from diverse backgrounds, allowing them to experience the thrill of robotics competitions, gain valuable skills, and broaden their horizons.

Equipment and Materials: Robotics is a hands-on experience, and your donation will help us purchase the necessary equipment and materials to build competitive robots.

Travel and Accommodation: Competitions often require us to travel, and your support will help cover travel expenses and accommodations for our team.

Educational Opportunities: By supporting us, you are investing in the education of future innovators who will contribute to their communities and shape the industries of tomorrow.

Join Us in Making a Difference:

We believe that every student should have access to quality STEM education and the chance to participate in enriching experiences like robotics competitions. Your generosity can help us achieve this goal and inspire a new generation of leaders, problem solvers, and community builders.

No donation is too small, and every contribution makes a difference. If you can't donate, please consider sharing our campaign with your network to help us reach our fundraising target.

Thank you for believing in the power of education, mentorship, and community. Together, we can empower the Pioneers of tomorrow!

Let's build a brighter future together!

Help the Pioneers Secure a New Home by August 2025!

The Pioneers program—a transformative space where youth gain technical skills, mentorship, and community—has been asked to relocate on short notice and must secure a new facility by August 2025 to continue programming without interruption.

We’ve identified a space that will meet our needs, and TN ECD (Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development) has agreed to support us in maintaining the lease on a reimbursement basis. However, to move forward, we urgently need to raise enough funds upfront to sign the lease and begin preparing the space in time for the fall season.

Your donation will directly support: securing and preparing a new facility by August 2025, ensuring continuity of our fall programs and year-round mentorship, sustaining a safe, empowering environment for over 100 youth in our technical education initiatives.

This unexpected move puts our timeline in a crunch—but with your support, we can ensure the Pioneers keep growing, learning, and building toward their futures.

Please donate and share—every contribution makes a difference.
