2. About Us:
Panthrobotics (FRC #3337) is a multicultural team of students
engaged in bringing a passion for math, science, engineering and
computing to our community and to Woodlawn High School, a Title I
public school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by participating in yearly
FIRST® Robotics competitions, community activism, and media and
political involvement. Through these experiences, we are learning
important skills that will aide us in becoming professionals.
Panthrobotics motivates students from all walks of life to employ the
skills they have learned in school to real-life experiences. Each year,
A group of students work on electrical components. club members design a 120lb robot from scratch to compete in
robotics competitions through FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a non-
profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen2. They accomplish this task in six weeks with the help of
engineers, scientists, and other mentors. The team then competes with this robot against thousands of other
schools from around the world in regional competitions and at the World Championship in Saint Louis,
Missouri.
Panthrobotics creates opportunities for students to engage science and technology through participation in
these yearly robotics competitions. Studies have shown that participants in FIRST® Robotics Competitions are:
Three timesmore likely to major in engineering.
More than twice as likely to pursue a career in science or technology
1
More than twice as likely to volunteer in their communities .
Panthrobotics is also heavily involved in the community, participating in events to show the importance of
science and engineering through demonstrations at local businesses as well as in elementary and middle
schools. The organization is also involved in raising awareness of robotics education both in the media through
appearances in print, television, and internet media as well as through political involvement.
As a school-based organization, Panthrobotics depends on the funding provided by sponsors that recognize the
need for a workforce trained in the fields of science, engineering, and business. The team requires
approximately $50,000 to cover yearly budget costs such as travel, registration fees, and building components.
Sponsors can also provide a consistent group of mentors to assist in the management of the team as well as to
lend their experience to students in the design and implementation of the robot.
Organizations that choose to support Panthrobotics through a tax-deductible donation are publically
acknowledged in the media, our promotional material and on the robot itself. Our audience is continually
growing and we are proud to provide our sponsors continued visibility both on the local and national stage. By
lending support and funding, sponsors can guarantee that students will leave their high school with the skills
necessary to succeed as well as lead in today’s society.

an organization that is equipping students
to enter college and the work-place with
more than just book knowledge.

community demonstrations.
We are looking for more than just financial sponsorships. A robotics team needs a
great number of resources to make it successful such as mentors, build supplies, food

guarantee a solidly educated workforce for your company in the years to come.
