Help Denfeld's DNA Robotics Build our 2027 Robot!

Building the future of STEM, one robot at a time

Denfeld Nation Automation (DNA), the Denfeld Robotics team, is more than a varsity-level competitive robotics team from Denfeld High School in Duluth, Minnesota. 

We're a community that designs, builds, and programs robots while learning real-world skills that prepare our students to be future engineers, programmers, designers, and leaders. 

We're asking for your support

We're working to raise $5,000 to build our 2027 robot and support our team's efforts to compete in two regional FIRST events in Minnesota and Iowa.

Every dollar donated directly supports hands-on STEM education, travel costs, and the tools our students need to succeed. 

A season of giving for our build season

During the holidays, you may be looking for meaningful ways to give back. 

For Denfeld Robotics, your gift helps us continue providing opportunities that spark learning, creativity and confidence in students through hands-on learning. 

Your support helps us build more than robots. It helps build futures for bright students. 

How your gift helps

Your contribution helps us:

• Build our 2027 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 our team move closer to our goals. 

Why it matters

Denfeld Nation Automation serves students from Denfeld High School in West Duluth, where over 57% 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 recent graduation rates ranging from 75-84%. 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 playing field.
