Sponsorship
Sponsor Bark Bots Robotics
The Bark Bots Robotics Team is a student-led FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team based in Mount Vernon, Washington. Our team brings together students in grades 8–12 who are passionate about science, technology, engineering, manufacturing, programming, business, and teamwork.
Through the FIRST Robotics Competition program, students gain hands-on experience designing, building, programming, and operating a 120-pound industrial-style competition robot while developing real-world skills in leadership, communication, problem solving, project management, and collaboration.
Bark Bots provides students with opportunities to explore STEM careers, work alongside dedicated mentors and industry professionals, and participate in a challenging and inspiring engineering program that prepares them for future success in college, trades, and technical careers.
Why Sponsorship Matters
Running a competitive robotics program requires significant resources each season. Sponsorships directly support:
-
Robot parts and manufacturing materials
-
Tools, equipment, and software
-
Competition registration fees
-
Student travel and lodging
-
Outreach and community events
-
Team operations and safety equipment
Your support helps provide students in our community with meaningful hands-on STEM experiences that would not otherwise be possible.
Partner with Bark Bots
We are proud to partner with local businesses, manufacturers, engineering firms, trades, and community organizations that believe in investing in the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and skilled professionals.
Sponsors receive recognition through team apparel, pit displays, the competition robot, social media, and our website depending on sponsorship level.
In addition to financial sponsorships, Bark Bots also gratefully accepts in-kind donations such as materials, fabrication services, printing, tools, meals, transportation assistance, and professional services.
