LINKS supports FIRST & STEM in DC

Please donate any amount and share with friends and family to help LINKS Support FIRST and STEM at the 5th Annual FIRST National Advocacy Conference in D.C.

Representing 14 different public, private and home schools from the Metro-Atlanta area, Fernbank LINKS students dedicate 6 hours+ every week to the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team is comprised of students in 9th-12th grades and represents diversity on every level.

The Fernbank LINKS Robotics team has been competing in FIRST since 2011.  For the 4th consecutive year, this team has earned an invitation to the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, Texas. This is the result of excellent engineering applications to the construction of a competitive robot and a premiere outreach program. LINKS received the 2018 Regional NASA Engineering Inspiration Award, celebrating "outstanding student leaders whose passion for and effectiveness at attaining FIRST ideals is exemplary."

Annually the members raise over $1000 each to support their efforts. Many of our alumni, parents and friends, as well as fans of our future engineers and entrepreneurs have been generous supporters.

In June, the team has the opportunity of representing Georgia FIRST at a National Advocacy Conference in Washington, DC. The participants will receive training and then meet with respective Senators and Members of Congress in an effort to change the culture to value FIRST and STEM.

Your donations will contribute to creating the next generation of STEM leaders. Every small amount helps Fernbank LINKS to succeed in fulfilling this mission. Only 25% of students are in STEM fields. This is why millions of STEM jobs are unfilled each year. LINKS is working hard to generate the Scientists, Technicians, Engineers, and Mathematicians to supply these high demand skills.

So please, donate and share to help raise awareness among Senators and Members of Congress to help create the next generation of STEM leaders.
