2. Who We Are
The RoboLancers are a student-operated, adult-mentored robotics program based out
of Central High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The program was founded in
1999 as FIRST Robotics Team #321 and included five students from the school.
Since then, the program has evolved into a multi-faceted organization of 60 students
and 9 adult mentors that - with a $20,000 per year budget - competes in two to three
competitions, hosts various STEM training and outreach programs around the city,
and has become a shining example of what students in a struggling urban setting can
do if given the opportunity.
What We Do
The RoboLancers provide students with a complete immersion in STEM problem
solving. Students are given hands-on engineering experience as they work in teams to
solve electrical, mechanical, and programming problems. Students work with solid
modeling programs, programming languages, web design software, and control
systems. The students themselves then use this gained knowledge to inspire other
students in Philadelphia to become interested in STEM fields through various school
and community events; including hosting the Philly Robotics Expo, mentoring at
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Lego League (FLL) events, building robots
for theater groups, participating in a documentary about high school robotics teams,
and demonstrating their robots at district schools and STEM awareness events.
Our Goals
A primary goal of the RoboLancers is to work with the students in Central High
School, the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), and the greater Philadelphia area to
inspire their involvement in STEM and computer science fields. The program is
unique in that it empowers those disadvantaged and underrepresented populations on
a small scale in order that they themselves may engage those populations on a larger
scale. Other program goals include the following:
To inspire every individual that builds with, learns from, cheers for, or hears about
the team to have confidence in themselves and in their future
To spark students’ interest in STEM and computer science within the School
District and the City of Philadelphia, and ultimately produce young adults who
contribute to the community, country, and world in STEM fields
To prepare students for enrollment in higher education with an interest toward
obtaining engineering, computer science, and other STEM related degrees
To foster a positive self-image, leadership skills, teamwork and moral behavior
among Philadelphia students
To transform the image of Philadelphia to one which is a hub for advanced
technology through various partnerships with local businesses and universities
Sponsorship
If you want to sponsor an award-winning Philadelphia public high
school robotics team, please consider becoming a sponsor of the
RoboLancers.
Your sponsorship will provide a connection with students who will be tomorrow’s
leaders in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. Would
you please help? In addition to financial support, the team always is in need of tools,
materials, software, hardware, and services (e.g., printing, copying, t-shirt production,
advertising). If you are unable to provide financial support, we always are in need of
team mentors. Please contact the RoboLancers for more information about these
important aspects of giving. The following levels of sponsorship* currently are
