DECATUR ROBOTICS TEAM 4026

Decatur Robotics Team 4026 competes in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) program—the world’s leading youth-serving nonprofit advancing STEM education. For 30 years, FIRST has combined the rigor of STEM learning with the fun and excitement of traditional sports.

DECATUR ROBOTICS BOOSTER CLUB

The Decatur Robotics Booster Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by parent volunteers that supports the students, teachers, coaches, and mentors with all that goes into operating a competitive team. Boosters provide financial support, volunteer time, and help with logistics and other activities.
