TechPoint Youth's 2026 Giving Tuesday campaign: 

Tuesday, November 24 - Giving Tuesday, December 1

⚡ Power Up State.

This Giving Tuesday, help Indiana students turn a season of hard work into a moment they'll never forget.

Every year, thousands of Indiana students spend countless hours designing, building, coding, problem-solving, and working together toward one incredible moment: the Indiana Robotics State Championship.

On March 26–27, 2027, more than 300 robotics teams will come together at Lucas Oil Stadium for two unforgettable days of competition, collaboration, and celebration.

For these students, State is about so much more than robots. It's about discovering their potential, building confidence, finding their voices, and realizing they can accomplish things they never thought possible.

And it happens because Indiana shows up for its students.

This Giving Tuesday, TechPoint Youth is on a mission to raise $20,000 to help power the 2027 Indiana Robotics State Championship, and we need your help!

Whether you give $25 or $1,000, your generosity helps bring this extraordinary experience to life for students from communities across Indiana.

Together, let's Power Up State!

    Building More Than Robots. Building Indiana's Future.

    Since launching its State Robotics Initiative in 2016, TechPoint Youth has helped expand access to robotics and STEM education throughout Indiana.

    With more than 1,400 grants awarded across all 92 Indiana counties, we've helped students discover opportunities to explore technology, develop critical skills, and pursue their passions.

    But the true impact goes far beyond the competition floor.

    It's the student who discovers the confidence to speak up.

    The team that learns failure is simply part of the process.

    The young innovator who realizes that a future in science, technology, or engineering might be within reach.

    These are the moments that change lives. And your generosity helps make them possible.
