PLP FRC Team SPORK Funding
Donation protected
We are the Pine Lake Preparatory (PLP) High School FIRST Robotics Team located in Mooresville, NC named Team SPORK. Our mission statement is S-triving to P-romote STEM based O-utreach while providing students with R-eal life experiences, thereby preparing K-nowledgeable leaders of the next generation.
Our goals are to:
-Design and build a fully functional robot in 6 weeks that meets/exceeds the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competitions
(FRC) Challenge and can compete against the best high school robotics teams from around the world.
-Represent the value of STEM education by being a positive catalyst of change in public high school education.
-Pass on the love of STEM and FIRST Robotics to younger students.
-Raise the funds necessary to participate in the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competitions (FRC) program for the
seventh year. Start Aug. 9, 2015 - End Mar. 31, 2016.
Team SPORK is a tax deductible 501(c)(3) educational entity and must raise about $50,000 in grants and donations each year to support students building a custom robot, to cover competition entry fees and to get more than 40 students, coaches, and mentors to three District competitions, the NC State Championship, and hopefully, to the FRC World Championship in St Louis in April.
Students and mentors spend an extra 40-60 hrs per week outside of high school and day jobs. It's a labor of love!
Currently we have a $20,000 deficit and we would greatly appreciate any assistance possible.
Please help us even if it's $1 at a time.
