A New Milestone: 501(c)(3) Status

Terrace Park Robotics is proud to announce our transition to an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This move ensures that our program is built for the long haul, allowing us to accept tax-deductible donations and access corporate matching programs that double the impact of your support.

Investing in an Evolving Landscape

The world of youth robotics is entering a period of significant transition. With the upcoming conclusion of the decades-long partnership between LEGO and FIRST, and the introduction of new AI-driven hardware, our goal is to remain platform-agnostic. Rather than being tied to a single kit or league, we are building a Permanent Equipment Fund. This flexibility allows us to:

• Adapt to New Standards: Secure the latest sensors, controllers, and building platforms as the industry evolves.

• Scale with Our Students: Transition from early-childhood exploration into advanced competitive leagues like FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC).

• Maintain Accessibility: Keep registration fees low so every curious mind in Terrace Park can participate, regardless of hardware costs.

Why Partner With Us?

We believe that the skills learned in robotics—coding, mechanical design, and collaborative problem-solving—are the essential tools for the next generation of engineers and leaders. By becoming a founding sponsor, you aren’t just buying a robot; you are building a local pipeline for innovation.
