Code Crusaders started in 2023 as a homeschool team at Code N Bots in Draper, Utah. Since then, they have grown into dedicated coders, creative engineers, and true teammates who challenge and support each other every day. Their journey has been marked by hard work, late nights, and a passion for robotics that brings them together as a family.
This year, Code Crusaders have earned the incredible opportunity to compete on the world stage at the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, Texas. As the only team representing Utah, they are proud to showcase their skills and spirit. The funds raised will help cover essential expenses, including flights for 8 students and 2 mentors, hotel accommodations for a multi-day event, competition registration fees, meals during travel, local transportation, and team materials. Every dollar brings them closer to making this dream a reality.
Their hard work shows up when it matters most. At a recent competition, a previously perfect run began failing. With just 15 minutes to go, the team quickly adapted, rewriting code, testing under pressure, and coming from behind in their final robot game round. It was a moment that captured exactly who they are: resilient, focused, and determined. Please help support Code Crusaders as they represent Utah on the world stage and make their dream possible!
