About Us

The Chezy Robotics Foundation's mission is to support, promote, and advance robotics-based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) K-12 education programs in California.

Founded in 2024, we aim to support the activities of FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams through monetary support and recruitment of volunteers. Our initiatives aim to inspire and educate students in the San Francisco Bay Area, preparing them for future careers in technology and engineering. Our primary activity is organizing and running Chezy Champs, an annual off-season FRC tournament attended by 40+ high-school robotics teams from across the United States and internationally.

We are a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
