OUR SPONSORS
Mercia Robotics is the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team from Mercia School. Our students learn engineering, coding, and teamwork by designing competitive robots. We compete in the annual FTC challenge and also run outreach sessions to inspire younger students.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a prestigious international program founded in 1989 to ignite scientific curiosity and innovation. This year, our team of 15 driven young adults will compete against over 60 teams from across the UK to design and build an autonomous robot over the course of 9 months — culminating in a high-stakes national challenge in London.
At Mercia, we’ve built a reputation for excellence in robotics. Our team has earned awards, nominations, and recognition through years of dedication and performance. This season, we’re proud to field a well-balanced group of scholars, each bringing exceptional talent in coding, engineering, design, media, and outreach. While our skills are diverse, we’re united by a shared passion for science and a relentless drive to solve complex problems creatively.
By sponsoring us, you’re not just supporting a team — you’re investing in the next generation of innovators. Your brand will be promoted at the regional competition in London (where we qualified last year) and at the European premier event in Eindhoven, Netherlands (which we’re ambitiously targeting this season). Your logo will appear on our team shirts, worn proudly throughout the season, and across our active social media platforms including Instagram and TikTok — where we’ll feature your products in short promotional videos and branded content.
You’ll also be showcased on our team website, which we’re designing ourselves, and publicly thanked at every competition we attend. It’s a chance to align your brand with education, creativity, and real-world impact — while helping young minds reach their full potential. Together, we can build something extraordinary.
