Now it's time to dig deep folks and help these kids (and my kid) get to the FRC World Championships in Houston, TX! Our little school district is facing difficult times and never planned for it to happen. Now it's up to this team of dedicated underdogs to raise a lot of money with very little time to do it so they can compete in something they love. It's like the plot of a great 80s movie! Now they need help from people like you to make it happen. Every little bit helps!

CHS' robotics team, Artemis 6621, has earned a spot at the 2025 FIRST Championship happening April 16-19 in Houston, Texas and they need your help to get there! The team is fundraising post-haste to cover the cost of the trip and is accepting donations now through April 8.
This is a world-level competition that Chatham qualified for through their alliance winning the FIRST NY Tech Valley Regional competition held at MVP arena in Albany March 27-29. They are the only high school robotics team in Columbia County and are proud to be one of the smallest teams competing. Artemis 6621 is currently ranked 9th in NYS out of 150 teams, 96th nationally out of 2,930 teams, and 122nd in the world out of 3,695 teams!
The District will be funding the registration costs. In order to get to Houston, the team has the goal of raising at least $35,000 through donations from our community. These funds will pay for the team's travel, hotel, meals, transportation of their robot and tools, and other related expenses.
