There are many ways you can help the Robot Dolphins. We accept tax deductable donations via the Dolphin Foundation. The Dolphin Foundation operates as an independent, parent-run, 501(c)3 non-profit organization to support high priority projects benefitting all students at Dana Hills High School. Targeting STEM education to the wider school district, the foundation provides specific support for its robotics program: Team 5199 – Robot Dolphins from Outer Space

The dolphins also take in-kind donations. We can use all sorts of supplies and materials (and these items don’t necessarily need to be technical). If you think you have something we might find useful, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at our email address robotdolphins@gmail.com and we can investigate to see if its something we can use. 

Finally, we are always looking for volunteers and mentors. If you are interested in supporting the team with your time, please let us know. We’d love to add to our Dolphin Family. Volunteers coordinate events for the team. they help book travel and lodging, they take pictures and shoot video, they help organize meals.

If you are looking to become a FIRST robotics mentor, we’d love to discuss that. We are always looking for technical professional to inspire and teach our team more. You can email 5199mentors@gmail.com if you are interested. We look forward to hearing from you
