We invite you – our community of STEM thinkers, makers, and supporters – to become an Oregon Robotics Tournament & Outreach Program (ORTOP) sponsor!
Since 2001, ORTOP has been delivering robotics programs for youth in grades 2-12. Teams of students conduct research, design and build robots in response to an annual challenge. The teams are guided by coaches and mentors, and students take the lead in activities around solving the challenge and building the robot.
Together with our corporate and foundation supporters and community partners, ORTOP is working to expand the reach of FIRST programs. Each year, ORTOP collaborates with more than 1,000 volunteers, engages over 2,500 students, works alongside 640 coaches and mentors, and assists in the organization of roughly 65 events that are attended by hundreds of spectators.
FIRST programs improve in-school learning and graduation rates for youth, with positive outcomes consistent with high-quality Project Based Learning. The decade longitudinal study from Brandeis University shows positive outcomes for FIRST participants:
We are interested in recognizing your support in a way that is meaningful to your organization.
