FUNDRAISING
Our fall 2022 Crowdfunding Campaign at CMU!
Our 2022 crowdfunding campaign is over! This year we raised $12837 from hundreds of amazing donors! The funds raised will help us with purchasing robot parts for the upcoming FIRST Robotics Competition season which kicks off on January 7, 2023. Additional contributions can be made here!

Contact us at girlsofsteelroboticsfinance@gmail.com if you have any questions about the team or about making a donation. We are grateful for donors like you who helped us to exceed our goal of $10,000.
Thank you!
Other ways you can help
We always have expenses related to building the robot for competition and running outreach. For example a roboRIO (like the “brain” of the robot) costs us approximately $435, and we used two for the two new updated chassis project workshop kits. Usually the first FIRST Robotics Competition regional registration fee is $6000 and the fee for the second regional is $3000; we usually attend two regionals per year: The Greater Pittsburgh Regional at a venue in or near Pittsburgh and another competition in Ohio.
In addition to funds for the usual registration fees and robot materials, when we travel to competitions, we need funds for mentor travel, cargo van rental, and more. Again, any amount you are able to provide helps!
We are meeting in person for both tech meetings and business meetings.
Thank you!
