WILLIAMSBURG — BurgBots, the Williamsburg Junior/Senior High School FIRST Tech Challenge team #6458, recently received a grant of $1,225 from Bayer Fund, a philanthropic arm of Bayer in the U.S.
This grant will help the robotics team with its associated season costs, including participation fees and purchasing equipment.
"We are incredibly grateful to Bayer Fund for their support," said Krystle Stehno, the team’s coach, in a press release.
