Support the team
Banana Box runs on community support, and every contribution goes straight into our robots and our outreach. You can support us through our GoFundMe, and we fundraise year-round through concession stands and recycled parts.
We also launched Mission FTC-Possible after NH FIRST lost its main sponsor: local companies can purchase a table at NH FTC events (scrimmages, qualifiers, and the state championship) to showcase their products and services to the FIRST community.
What sponsors get: a spot across our social media (Instagram, YouTube), a place on the banner we carry at the FIRST World Championship, and connections with motivated STEM students. What it funds: robot parts, competition and travel expenses, and our workshops and outreach.
Mentorship
We mentor 12 teams across FIRST Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge — five rookie FLL teams at the Londonderry YMCA, three FLL teams in Windham, and four NH FTC teams. We help them grow robotics skills (CAD, mechanics, programming, troubleshooting), cognitive skills (problem solving, planning), and collaboration through teamwork and Gracious Professionalism. To grow our own mentor base, we reach out to FLL, FTC, and FRC alumni as well as parents and their peers.
