E-Tech Chargers FRC Team 5298 is a high school robotics team at Energy Tech High School in Queens, NY. We are passionate about making hands-on STEM accessible to all. This weekend at the NYC Regional competition, our team was awarded the Chairman's Award, which is the most prestigious award given to the team that best embodies the mission of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology), an organization started by Dean Kamen for students K-12 around the world. We are honored and proud!

 

This award makes us eligible for World Championship in Houston April 20-23, where we will compete with our robot as well as compete for the World Chairman's Award. Please help us make it there! You can designate a team member to help cover their trip expenses, or you can donate to the team in general to help with overhead costs. We know this will be a life-changing experience for all of us, and we sincerely thank you for making our dreams come true!

All donations are tax deductible. 

We are a non-profit organization raising funds to send the ETech Chargers FIRST Robotics Team 5298 to FRC World Championship in Houston, Texas next week. The ETech Chargers are located in Astoria, Queens, and are passionate about empowering and providing opportunities for underserved communities to experience hands-on STEM education.

The ETech Chargers were Hudson Valley Regional winners at the beginning of March, and also winners of the Imagery Award. At the recent NYC Regional competition, they were given the Industrial Design Award, and made it into the second round of playoffs.

The funds raised in this campaign will directly cover expenses incurred for registration, meals, team shirts, team swag to hand out in our pit, and mentor travel and lodging.

We are so excited to send this team to Worlds so they can see the fruit of their hard work as they continue to learn valuable skills, and network with 599 of the best teams around the world.
