Donations & Sponsorship

As a community-based team, donations and sponsorships are our lifeblood. Our team application fees are just enough to keep the lights on and the doors open.

The true wonder that is the McKinney STEAM Academy begins to shine with the generous donations from our neighborhood.

It is these contributions that provide upwards of 60 elementary kids access to resources above and beyond the basic kits covered by registration. This allows us to provide LEGO Teams with additional SPIKE Prime kits, customization accessories, and scrimmage nights. These resources allow kids to explore unique solutions to challenges placed before them, building teamwork and cooperation in the process.

Generous individuals are why we can provide over 90 middle school students with tools and 3d printers to begin turning their robots into one-of-a-kind creations. These students are free to think outside of the box when they have access to open-ended tools allowing the development of vision and creative problem-solving skills.

Corporate sponsors allow us to provide our 60 high school students with specialized CAD training, welding training, software training, and raw materials to learn CNC, powder coating, and manufacturing skills. These skills are not only directly transferable to many workplaces, but they ensure that MSA students have access to explore a wide array of interests, often sparking a love for something not yet considered. These students work in a collaborative, problem-solving environment that provides a direct correlation to a professional environment, developing both hard and soft skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

You can be a part of this amazing place. Contributions of money, time, and resources are all welcome.
