FTC Robotics Club Grant
New collaborative ventureWe are excited at a new project to offer more opportunities to Calgary kids. Project-based, hands-on FIRST programs introduce students to engineering and coding in an engaging, inclusive and creative environment where students work collaboratively to solve an annual robotics challenge. Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM skills while realizing the value of innovation and teamwork. Students also work on community outreach and impact.
Our GoalSpearheaded by members Ruth, Alfonso and Cecil, Chinook Kiwanis is providing start-up support to Calgary Junior Highs wanting to have a Robotics Club in their school. We are so looking forward to new partnerships with schools and other Kiwanis Clubs to enrich the lives of kids.

Who can apply
This grant is only intended for Junior High Schools that have not previously participated in FIRST Tech Challenge.
We are aware of the financial difficulties that Junior Highs are facing nowadays and we want to make sure that these difficulties are not hindering students' possibilities. For this reason, we want to help clubs with purchasing their first Robotics Kit. We also offer guidance on how to set up your team, what grants you can apply for and how to guarantee team continuity through sponsors.
