The Scale of What Needs to be Done in Preparing for the FIRST Robotic is Huge

Taking part in a FIRST Robotics competition provides students with life-changing experience. As you can imagine, any effort that provides such experience is a major undertaking. Teams need a great number of resources from expert help and mentoring to monetary benefits. Most Robotics Teams are affiliated with a high school and have the fund-raising arm of the high school available for their expenses.

NASA and the Girl Scouts are Our Founding Sponsors

We, The Space Cookies are a NASA Ames Research Center and Girl Scouts of Northern California sponsored team. NASA provides us with lab space, NASA interns as mentors with experience of FIRST robotics, and has also been very generous with providing us funds for registration at the regional and the national competition and also some funds toward travel and robot-related expenses.

The Girl Scouts organization helps us with fund-raising, media connection and community outreach. Many local girl-scout troops have donated their own funds for our use.
