Announcing the first ever Annual Robotics And Beyond Alumni Fundraising Campaign!

Welcome! We are truly excited about creating a way for our many former students and mentors, as a group, to give back and continue the opportunities that inspired and helped you on your journeys through elementary, middle and high school, and into further education paths and into careers. Our participants have gone on to inspiring and fulfilling careers in every field of engineering, science, technology and design, as well as digital art and animation, finance, law and many other paths. Read more below about why we are creating this event, how it will unfold, and what you can bring back to Robotics And Beyond, and what it may still be able to do for you.

  2. Take 5 minutes on this survey to tell us where you are and what you are doing.

WHY

We are heading into our 23rd year of inspiring talent and futures in all fields of engineering, science, and design, and opening doors to every other imaginable career. We have long-range plans to continue and grow for another 22 years, and more. For this to succeed, we need to support new positions and fill a need for financial assistance to our students that is always growing.

We believe that Robotics And Beyond (RAB) alumni appreciate the impact that RAB has had on their opportunities and successes. We believe that our alumni can be a huge part of our future, through financial support, as a network for upcoming students and our alumni, and by showing other potential donors how important and effective RAB’s model is; how it truly changes lives and creates greater good.

WHO – WE WANT YOU!

We want to reach all former (or current!) student participants in our programs, mentors and instructors who have developed within our programs, and those who came directly into teaching and leadership roles and have had such tremendous impact.

Parents and all other advocates also! We invite you to respond on behalf of your children, or those you have supported, and help us understand their path since leaving RAB’s programs.

Please – take 5 minutes on this survey to tell us where you are, what you are doing and a little about your time with RAB. This will be a huge help in documenting our impact when reaching out to potential individual donors, foundations and in grant applications.

WHEN

All of October, November and December, and including Giving Tuesday on December 2 and the End-of-Year, December 31 deadline for tax-deductible charitable donations.
