Due to their performance at the State Tournament, Norah's robotics team has been invited to compete at the Michiana Premier Event this June in South Bend, Indiana! The event will host up to 96 teams from across the globe for a multi-day experience that goes far beyond competition, with international teams, high-level matches, and opportunities to connect with the broader STEM community.

To make this incredible opportunity possible, we are working to raise $4,000 to cover registration, travel, and lodging expenses. Every donation helps our students gain hands-on experience in engineering, problem-solving, and leadership as they represent our community on a global stage.

Thank you for supporting Got Robot? and helping us take this next big step!

Congratulations to the team!





The FIRST Tech Challenge Innovation Award sponsored by RTX recognizes teams that develop creative engineering solutions to real-world problems through their robot and outreach efforts.
RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) sponsors this award to encourage young engineers to think innovatively — not just about building a competitive robot, but about how technology can solve broader challenges. The award emphasizes:
∙ Creative problem-solving beyond the game itself
∙ Engineering notebook documentation of the design process
∙ Real-world impact of the team’s technical ideas
∙ STEM outreach and community engagement
It’s one of the more prestigious FTC awards because it looks at the whole team’s engineering journey, not just robot performance.
