The Walpole Robotics Foundation is a nonprofit organization from Walpole, Massachusetts comprised of K-12 students and adult volunteers. We participate in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which is a worldwide robotics organization that includes thousands of teams and hundreds of thousands of students. Our robotics programs encourage innovation and foster well-rounded life skills including self-confidence, communication, and leadership. As a non-profit organization running a high-budget program, we rely on sponsor donations, both in-kind and financial, to continue the work we do.  We are proud to be a diverse organization, consisting of 57% of team members from underrepresented groups, and 30% women.
