Science Foundation Arizona, through the Arizona FIRST planning committee, is providing a half a million dollars to promote the development of FIRST in Arizona!
Among some of the aspects of the grant they are providing $6,000.00 to new FRC teams and schools that fall under the category of Title I or rural. They are also providing $3000.00 to the teacher mentor as a stipend. $1000.00 for tools. They want 13 new FRC teams, 20 new FTC teams and 30 new FLL teams.
Team 842 has brought in 4 new schools to date and three new FLL teams. They are hosting the FTC and FLL qualifying events for the state. FIRST is growing in AZ. It looks like there are 7 new FRC teams so far out of the 13 new ones wanted!
