Helena is buzzing with excitement as three local robotics teams—Fusion, Protostars, and Nano—prepare to showcase their skills on international stages. These teams have been diligently working on their robots since September and recently qualified for prestigious competitions after performing well at the state level. Team Fusion is set to compete in the First Tech World Championship in Houston, Texas, while Protostars will participate in a unique tournament in Canada where their coaches will also compete against them. Meanwhile, Team Nano, comprised of elementary students, will face off against 90 teams from around the globe in Long Beach, California.

The robotics teams not only focus on competitions but also contribute to their community by solving real-world problems. For instance, they assist the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) with various projects, showcasing their engineering skills and innovative thinking. This collaboration has even led to Helena being recognized as a hub for airport innovation, highlighting the positive impact these young engineers have on their local environment.

As these talented teams gear up for their upcoming competitions, they are also seeking support to help them represent Montana on the world stage.
