How You Can Help

There are several ways you can help us!

Become a mentor

Our team is always looking for new mentors. Mentors come into our workshop, or communicate with us by email or social media, to teach us new skills and enhance our old ones. Mentors are invaluable, and if you want to offer your knowledge to the team, please do not hesitate to contact us .

Become a sponsor

Sponsors are people or groups that support us financially, which lets us purchase parts and components for our robots, register for competitions, develop our community outreach projects, and more. Many of our sponsors also work with our mentors to teach us new skills and provide supplies and components that we could not otherwise build or buy ourselves. Sponsors are welcome to visit us in our workshop or at our competitions. See Sponsorship and Donations .

Help us with fundraisers

• GiveWithLiberty: if your friends or family work at Liberty Mutual, their giving program helps fund the local community. By selecting Dover Shockwave Robotics as their charity of choice, Liberty Mutual will match their donation.
• Others: throughout the year we hold smaller fundraisers. Keep an eye on our social media pages for them.

Just be you

Just taking an interest and spreading awareness of our team helps us. We appreciate all of the support we receive and hope that everyone who gives us their support understands how integral to our success you are. Our goal is to help our students grow as people, and to help FIRST grow as a program. You watching us and giving us your support is part of what makes us Shockwave Robotics. Thank you!
