The following update comes from Howard Dynamics, a recipient of an MSBR STEM grant:

Dear MSBR Team,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news: Howard Dynamics has officially qualified for the FIRST Championship!

At the FIRST Chesapeake Championship, we finished as Finalists in our division, which earned us our spot at Worlds. This achievement represents months of dedication, iteration, and teamwork, and we are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.

We truly could not have reached this milestone without your generous sponsorship. Your support has helped us strengthen our robot design, expand our outreach initiatives, and grow within the FIRST community. Competing at this level is an amazing opportunity, and we’re honored to represent our community on the world stage.

As we prepare for the Championship, we’re continuing to refine our robot and outreach efforts to compete at our very best. If there are any opportunities to further our partnership as we head to Worlds, we would be grateful for the chance to connect.

We’ve attached a photo of our team celebrating this accomplishment. Thank you for helping make moments like this possible!

With sincere appreciation,
Howard Dynamics
FIRST Tech Challenge Team
