Why Donate?
The MegaKnytes have been privileged to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge Program for the past ten years. Since our first season in 2016, our team has significantly grown our technical and team skills. This development allowed us to succeed at various competitions, culminating in our most recent honor of winning the 1st place "Inspire" award at the Central Texas Regionals competition, meaning we are advancing to the World level.
Our involvement with FIRST has also made a lasting impact on those in our community and school. We help host an annual STEM Festival as well as a fifth-grade robotics club. What's more, we created a program called FIRST Aid to use STEM to help those with limited mobility.
