Building the Future of STEM, One Robot at a Time
Denfeld Robotics, also known as Team 4009, Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA), is more than a competitive robotics team from Denfeld High School in Duluth, Minnesota.
We’re a student-led community that designs, builds, and programs robots while learning real-world skills that prepare our students to be future engineers, programmers, designers, and leaders.
This Give to the Max Day, we’re asking for your help to raise $5,000 to build our 2026 robot and support our teams efforts to compete in two regional FIRST events across Minnesota.
Every dollar donated directly supports hands-on STEM education, travel costs, and the tools our students need to succeed.
Minnesota’s Day of Giving, Our Day to Build
Each November, Minnesotans come together for Give to the Max Day to celebrate generosity and learning. For Denfeld Robotics, it’s one of the most important fundraising days of the year.
Donations made during Give to the Max help us build our 2025 competition robot, reduce travel costs, and keep our program open to every student who wants to learn and lead.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
Your contribution helps us:
- Build our 2026 competition robot, the heart of our STEM learning experience.
- Travel to regional events where students put months of engineering, programming, designing, and teamwork into action.
- Provide equal opportunities for every student, regardless of financial background.
- Inspire the next generation through outreach events, STEM demonstrations, and mentoring younger robotics teams.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Denfeld Robotics ignite curiosity, creativity, and confidence in students through hands-on innovation.
Why It Matters
Denfeld Robotics serves students from Denfeld High School in West Duluth, where over 57 percent qualify for free or reduced lunch. For many, this program provides their first chance to explore engineering, technology, and leadership.
The team has maintained a 100% graduation rate among participants, compared to the school’s overall rate of 77%. That’s the power of opportunity, mentorship, and teamwork.
Your donation keeps this program accessible and life-changing for every student, from the workshop to the competition field.
