We’re asking for your help in supporting the our FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Team 8581, named Ædificatores (which is Latin for “Builders” or “Engineers”). 8581 is comprised of ten middle and high school students from the Kent, Ohio area who design, build, and program a robot for this annual competition. Since the team is not directly supported by an individual school districts, we have to self-fund over $10,000 annually in order to build the robot and participate in competitions across the country. With this year’s competition in full swing, the team is hard at work on the robot as well as on the engineering notebook and branding pieces. Any support our family, friends, and community leaders could provide in purchasing the materials we need to compete in the 2018-2019 season is greatly appreciated. Team 8581 is a part of KSS Robotics, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded to support robotics education in the region.  All donations are 100% tax deductible. On behalf of all of our teammates, thank you so much for your support!
