  • We need help to raise over $50K to be able to host the 2021 Denver BEST Regional Championship this December.
  • Ideally we are looking for a Regional Sponsor but any level of support will get us closer.
  • We have a group pursuing corporate and foundation sponsors and it would be helpful to have additional opportunities to pursue.
  • Please reply to this email if you can help us in any way with possible corporate or foundation sponsors or other fundraising ideas.
New Lakewood Workshop
We are excited to have finished the move into our new workshop.

Our thanks to all the volunteers that spent many hours helping look at spaces, and then heling plan and complete the move in the last few months.
We now have our own space to store robotics kit and event materials and for Monday kit team to work. All with easy access to move materials in and out for events.
And we are pleased to have sufficient space to also share some shelves with Front Range BEST.
