Why Should you Support US? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout their FIRST experience, students gain maturity, build self-confidence, learn teamwork, and gain an understanding of professionalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students have fun while building a network of friends and professional mentors who enrich their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Competing in FIRST is amazing. Every year in January, a new challenge is announced. Students then have 6 weeks to design and build a robot to complete the challenge. This encompasses everything from brain storming, 3d design, engineering, and fabrication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CopperBots are a smaller team, which means that every student gets a chance to get their hands dirty and work with the rest of the team toward a common goal. Every thing is lead by the students — students design, prototype, and build the robot, they contact sponsors. The mentors and adult volunteers are around to facilitate discussion, take on tedious tasks (I need 10 of these, cut like this) and make sure everyone is heard, on-task, and safe while building. Honestly, they don’t need us (the adults). Everyone is here because they want to be. Late nights, weekends, snow days, etc. The students are there and working usually long after the adults are ready to call it a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each team needs to compete in two regional competitions to attempt to qualify for the district championship and (hopefully) the World Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attending these competitions is not cheap — teams need to pay registration fees, travel, and room and board for the team. The Copperbots welcome any support you can give. Please contact our Lead Mentor Mr. Todd Waurio twaurio@clkschools.org to donate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
