Goal

In 2010, PyroTech was founded by a group of people who wanted the robot to be a tool to do big things in making the world a better place - for our students, our mentors, and the community.


Within The Forge Initiative, the bigger nonprofit we are a key part of, we've done that for 14 years, with thousands of hours of community engagement each year, with alumni who are now in engineering and non-engineering careers, in mentoring younger students in robotics.


Now, after some turbulent pandemic years, we need your help!!!  The Forge Initiative is struggling to pivot to a longer term sustainable model. If we can't figure out how to fund a new location this summer, PyroTech will have no space to work and no community to work within -- and neither will many other families.


Please help us Forge the Future!  

Can we do it?  With your help, we can!
