We Need Your Voice if you Live in Maryland

[staplemonx]

There are two Big Initiatives in the works for Robotics in Maryland and we need your help to make our voices heard!!!!

At the Maryland State level we have two bills that if passed, would fund state wide robotics programs registration fees for 2017 to the tune of $500,000. We have an email template and instructions on how to contact legislators urging their support on HB 115 and SB 582. We’d love for everyone to circulate this template and instructions to anyone in the community-students, leaders, parents, coaches, etc, in the hopes that we will have lots of robotics community members reaching out to their representatives. The more support other legislators see, the better!

At the Montgomery County level STEM Action has submitted a grant to fund registration fees for every Montgomery County team in 2017 as well as pay for FRC, FTC and FLL fields to the tune of $125,000. We’d love for everyone to ask everyone in our county including students, leaders, parents, coaches, etc, to contact the following county leaders to help ensure the grant is funded!
