The Henry Cluster STEMM Foundation is currently funding new FIRST robotics teams at Cluster schools. Apply for a grant to start FIRST LEGO League, Jr., FIRST LEGO League, or FIRST Tech Challenge program. In addition to financial support, HCSTEMM can help coaches and teachers navigate FIRST systems, connect with experienced local coaches for advice and mentorship, and serve as a pass-through non-profit organization for team sponsors and donations.
FLL Jr: Kindergarten through Grade 3
FLL: Grades 4 through 8
FTC: Grades 7 through 12
FRC: Grades 9 through 12
Visit the FIRST website for more information about this program. The theme for 2019-2020 is Star Wars!
Send an email to info@hcstemm.org if you have questions about how to start a team, or if you want to submit an application. Explain your interest in the program and how it will help your students.
