Giving Tuesday: Give the Gift of STEM

💙🤖 It’s Giving Tuesday! 🤖💙

Here’s a Giving Tuesday post centered on your community-based and cost-free mission — warm, clear, and impact-focused:
On this Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our community to consider supporting Trial & Error Robotics (FTC #10191) — a team built on the belief that every student deserves access to STEAM, no matter their financial situation.

Our mission is simple:

To create an inclusive, accessible, cost-free, community-driven team that teaches practical STEAM skills through hands-on robotics.

Because of this mission, no family ever pays to be part of our program.
That means we rely on the generosity of our community to give students the opportunity to learn engineering, coding, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving in a real competitive setting.

Your Giving Tuesday support helps us:
✨ Stay cost-free to all students
✨ Provide hands-on learning experiences for all students
✨ Build a welcoming, community-centered environment
✨ Equip our team with resources to learn, innovate, and compete
✨ Foster leadership, problem-solving, and real-world STEM skills

If you’d like to give today, your contribution goes directly toward keeping robotics accessible for every kid who wants to learn follow the link to contribute.

Thank you for helping us keep STEAM education open to all. 💛
