Supporting FRC Team 6324
Our sponsors and community partners make everything we do possible. Their generosity and support allow our team to learn, compete, travel, and create opportunities that inspire the next generation of leaders. We are incredibly grateful for their investment in our team and our mission, and we are proud to recognize the organizations and individuals that help make these experiences possible
Materials
Material costs are one of our largest expenses each year. In producing a high-quality robot, we typically use thousands of dollars in aluminum, structural plastics, fasteners, and electronics. Directly supplying these materials via in-kind donations helps us reduce our annual supply budget.
Monetary
Monetary donations are the most flexible way of supporting our program. We give our sponsors the choice to divert funds to a specific aspect of our budget including, but not limited to, registration costs, build budget, travel expenses, and apparel. Every dollar helps reduce the cost to our students.
Mentoring
Become a mentor! We are always looking for professionals interested in working directly with our students either in-person at our meetings or at job sites through internships. We are actively recruiting mentors for business, CAD, manufacturing, media, outreach, software development, and more! To become a mentor or provide an opportunity for our students, please contact one of our Lead Mentors.

Sponsorship
Sponsorship is the best way to support our team. we rely on our sponsors to help with the high cost of participation associated with FIRST Robotics Competition and our community outreach programs. Our community partners are critical to our efforts in making sure that all students can participate in our programs and grow as professionals, regardless of their economic status.
Investing in Your Future
Our program is at the forefront of helping our students develop the technical and professional skills that they need to succeed in their future professions and their lives overall after high school. You can directly support our efforts in preparing the next generation of engineers and technical experts.
Of our graduates, over ⅔ stay local, pursuing educational opportunities and careers in the New Hampshire and greater New England area. Of that group, nearly all students that have pursued an internship with one of our sponsors while they were in high school have continued working their post graduation. By supporting our program you are not only supporting students in your community, you are also supporting your future workforce and ensuring that these students will have the skills that you and your clients are looking for.
