We are dedicated to improving our community and making a positive impact on the world by empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders. To further this mission, we have initiated a petition to advocate for the inclusion of all FIRST robotics teams in Michigan’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) funding and the 99h grants. By securing these crucial resources, we aim to provide our teams with the necessary support and opportunities to foster STEM skills, inspire collaboration, and drive impactful educational experiences for students across the state.
Key Points of the Bill:
- Allow ALL FIRST Robotics teams in Michigan to access CTE funds.
- Allow ALL FIRST Robotics teams in Michigan to access 99h grants.
- Enhance STEM education and increase accessibility for students from diverse backgrounds.
- Promote economic growth by preparing students for high-demand careers in technology and engineering.
- Foster community engagement through outreach and service projects by FIRST Robotics teams.
The goal is to ensure that every student, regardless of their team’s affiliation, has equal opportunities to participate in FIRST Robotics, which provides valuable hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This change would help level the playing field, giving all students the chance to develop important skills and prepare for future careers in STEM fields.
Please support our mission to bring FIRST robotics to every student in Michigan.
