Sponsor Us!

Thanks again to the High School of Engineering and Science administration for supporting our efforts.  However, our industry, individual, and alumni sponsors are critical to helping us deliver our engineering program and robotics club's mission to our students.  A special thanks to NAVSEA Philadelphia division for supporting our students with generous commitments of time by sending professionals as mentors regularly to assist students as well as providing work-based learning experiences through field trips and internships.  Also, thanks to E&S Alumni('84) Gary Joseph, a Bronze Sponsor for donating a video camera with infra-red filter as well as Carl Salega for buying pizza for the team!

Platinum sponsors NDEP and Comcast NBCUniversal also supported our rookie FRC team 5640 for the school year 2014-15! Many thanks for your critical support.
