About
FIRST Robotics Competition Team 980 ThunderBots is a public charity and competitive robotics team that hopes to inspire interest in science, technology, and business leaders in young people.
Dedicated mentors and sponsors work with high school age students from Burbank Unified School District on a robotics challenge set by the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) organization in which we compete. Team 980 is also the perfect environment to develop important non-technical skills in logistics, marketing, graphic design, communications, finance and business practices. Ultimately, we encourage growth in creativity, problem-solving, strategy, leadership, initiative and teamwork.
Partnering with the BUSD NAF Academies, Team 980 is located in the STEAM lab at Burbank High School, welcoming students from both Burbank high schools as well as 8th graders from the middle schools. We provide real world experience in programming, electronics, machining, construction, mechanical design, business practices, and outreach. Any students with the passion to learn, a drive to create, and a competitive spirit are welcome to join.
What I’m Raising Money For
Running and making on the team is quite costly. The materials, specialized components cost money, CAD computers to design our robots, and tools of all sizes to build our robots all have a cost. Your contribution will help us design and build the best possible competition robot while training and teaching students about robotics.
Why You Should Give
In the past, Team 980 has relied on corporate sponsors for the majority of our revenue, but those sponsorships are no longer enough to cover all our expenses. This team provides work, design, electrical, coding, building, and power tool experience. I feel that I’m learning a lot and having fun. I would appreciate any donations to help my team. (Donations are tax deductible by the way!)
