Does Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsor FIRST?

FIRST General Forum
#1

I am helping to put the Glenbard East team, in Lombard Illinois together and I would like to know if IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) sponsors or funds any teams.

I am planning on contacting IIT to see if they could supply my team with funds or mentors so it would be better to know whether or not they are involved yet.

And also, if there is any companies that are willing to sponsor an up and coming team (specially if they are in the Chicagoland area).

Thank you very much,

Jessica S.Vendetta

My team, 1739 has also worked with IIT for the last two years.

I think you are confusing ITT[ITT Technical Institute] and IIT [Illinois Institute of Technology] Stuart. But can you confirm if you meant IIT or ITT? Thanks.

#6

yeah sorry I meant ITT[ITT Technical Institute] not IIT. [Illinois Institute of Technology]

guess it helps to read carefully.

Hi Jessica!

I’m excited that you are taking the initiative to help start a team at your school and would love to help you! I am Jackie Moore, the FIRST Senior Mentor for Illinois. One of my major roles is to help new teams get organized (including trying to connect teams with mentors and sponsors). Please email me at RoboticsLady@gmail.com so we can discuss the particulars for your school.

Thank you all so much for any information you may have given me!

I’ll be talking about anything you give me to the rest of the team and we will decide what to do from there!

Any other help is, of course, extremely welcome!
