CEJC President, Jennifer Meador, presenting the Orange Grove Robotics Team with the 2023 sponsorship check.

Good afternoon Charleston Engineers Joint Council!
 
This has been an unprecedented year for Orange Grove Robotics Team! We are excited to let you know that the team qualified for the First Robotics World Championships in Houston by winning the Inspire Award and placing 1st at the SC Championship last weekend! The Inspire Award is the highest award that can be earned at the competition.

Here is a brief description:
This judged award is given to the team that best embodies the ‘challenge’ of the FIRST Tech Challenge program. The team that receives this award is a strong ambassador for FIRST programs and a role model FIRST team. This team is a top contender for many other judged awards and is a gracious competitor. The Inspire Award winner is an inspiration to other teams, acting with Gracious Professionalism® both on and off the playing field. This team shares their experiences, enthusiasm and knowledge with other teams, sponsors, their community, and the judges. Working as a unit, this team will have shown success in performing the task of designing and building a robot.  
​
All this was possible through your support which allowed for significant robot design improvements. The students have enjoyed developing a reliable and consistent robot through the design and engineering process.

We greatly appreciated your support this season and are reaching out to you again to ask for your support in helping us raise funds to attend the World Championship Event.  This is a huge opportunity for our team, and we hope you'll consider supporting us again by making a donation.   
Thank you for your time and consideration!
