An Investment In Our Future
“By supporting these young minds, we contribute to the cultivation of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.”
In 2004, the receipt of a $10,000 grant from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL played a pivotal role in the establishment of Winnovation. Today, we take pride in our enduring partnerships with the local community and the Winnebago and Pecatonica School Districts.
Winnovation undertakes the formidable task of challenging students across multiple dimensions, fostering their intellectual, creative, academic, and social development. While the ostensible goal may be the design of a robot for gameplay, the program transcends theory, offering students a hands-on opportunity to apply theoretical concepts learned in school. Subjects such as math, science, and industrial education directly impact their practical experiences.
Beyond the gratification of our achievements, the robot's win-loss record does not stand as the singular marker of our success. Rather, we celebrate the profound impact that Winnovation has made over the past two decades.
Our gratitude extends to the unwavering support we receive from family, friends, and businesses in the area. Sponsorship manifests in diverse ways, encompassing financial donations, in-kind contributions, and the provision of skilled mentorships. These collaborative efforts are instrumental in propelling the mission and success of Winnovation. Please consider becoming a sponsor and joining us in empowering the next generation of innovators. Your support ensures the continued success of Winnovation, providing invaluable opportunities for students to excel in STEAM education and make a lasting impact on their communities and beyond.
