Springdale FIRST Robotics

For the last 3 years the Springdale Robotics Center has worked to try its best to be a hub for people to meet to learn and work on STEM and Robotics. But during the tornado on the morning of March 30th, 2022 the center was badly hit leading to the destruction of half of the building and all of the things inside. This damaged section housed our field, CADing computers, CNC machines, and the rest of our machine shop. We are now working on gathering the funds to repair and replace all of the damages but we can’t do it alone. If anyone is able to, any donation is greatly needed and appreciated.

Furthermore, all donations to the SRC will be counted as a tax write off due to our 501(c)(3) status.

We thank everyone for their help and look forward towards getting to a state where we can continue our work with our amazing community.

Hi, we're 7209 Tech Hogs Robotics, a FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team from Springdale, Arkansas. Our team is comprised of 8 students, ranging from 5th to 11th grade. We've been competing since 2013 and have attended the World Championship four times.

This year, we made it to the Finalist Alliance at the Arkansas State Championship and qualified for a Premier Event. It has not been finalized which event we will be competing at, but there will be high registration fees and travel expenses for our team no matter where we compete.

We rely on support from our community and would greatly appreciate donations of ANY amount to help go towards the registration fee and expenses. We are part of Springdale First Robotics, a nonprofit 501(c)3.

Our community is important to us, so we give back by teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) to disadvantaged youth in the Northwest Arkansas area. Our mission is to provide inspiration to these youth and encourage the development of skills for a better way of life. Here are some of the programs we have been involved in this past year:
