We are Simbotics
We are Simbotics, a FIRST Robotics Hall of Fame team from Governor Simcoe Secondary School in St. Catharines, and we’re excited to represent our team at the International Championship in Texas this year. Our team is dedicated to creating advanced robotics projects that challenge our technical and creative abilities, while building valuable skills in teamwork, leadership, and innovation. To accomplish this, we need your help! Competing at a high level comes with costs over $80,000 a year! We’re seeking support from businesses to help us represent our community on the world stage.
How to Support
We offer a variety of ways for you to support our team, and we strongly encourage you to reach out if you can contribute materials or machinery to assist our efforts at info@simbotics.org. The primary form of support we receive is financial, and there are two options available depending on what aligns best with your preferences.
FAQ
What is the difference between a sponsorship and a donation?

We are only permitted to distribute business receipts for such sponsorships. Donations can be contributed to the team and you will receive a charitable receipt for your contribution, however, your branding will not be featured in any public-facing branding.
