Fund the Lewiston Robotics Team’s Journey

We are LRTC 8023 the Argonauts, a FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition team from Lewiston Regional Technical Center and Lewiston High School in Central Maine. Our team is made up of students in grades 9-12 dedicated to developing their skills not only in STEM, but leadership and in their everyday lives. Through teamwork and communication, we foster a compassionate and safe environment for students from all backgrounds to explore the world of engineering and robotics free of cost and at their own pace.

The FIRST 2025 season began in January. Team 8023 designed, built and programmed our robot while fundraising for our regular competition costs. The team competed in 2 District events. We won Silver at our most recent event, and with this second place finish, we expect to have earned enough ranking points to be invited to the NE District Championship in early April!

The costs associated with our season include registration fees, essential parts, tools, food, lodging and transportation. Progressing into Districts requires more. To achieve our goal amount, we need our village. By donating to our team, you are directly supporting the next generation of engineers, inventors, and leaders. Thank you in advance; your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
