Girls ages 9-14 will form teams to learn engineering concepts, research and solve real-world problems, and design and build autonomous robots. Motorola’s support will allow participating teams to purchase hardware, software, team uniforms, and the required robotics kits, and to attend FIRST events.
The Motorola Foundation is the independent charitable and philanthropic arm of Motorola. Through strategic grants, forging strong community partnerships, fostering innovation, and engaging stakeholders, the Motorola Foundation focuses its funding on education, especially innovation, science, technology, engineering, and math programming.

Annie E. Casey Foundation
Each year, Girls Inc. partners with the Annie
E. Casey Foundation to offer the Family Strengthening Awards that recognize Girls Inc.
affiliates for outstanding programs that make families stronger and thus, help girls reach
their full potential. The Annie E. Casey Foundation is committed to helping children and
families living in tough communities do better. The foundation believes that children do
well when families do well, and that families do better when they live in supportive
communities.
Through the Family Strengthening Awards program, Girls Inc. rewards the selected affiliates with awards as well as materials to help them publicize their award-winning work locally. The program also spreads best practices in family strengthening throughout the entire Girls Inc. network, by enabling our affiliates to learn from the awardees. Girls Inc. documents the winning programs and strategies, and the award-winning affiliates lead roundtable discussions and peer-to-peer mentoring sessions on working with girls' families.
Since 1948, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has worked to build better futures for disadvantaged children and their families in the United States. The primary mission of the Foundation is to foster public policies, human service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today's vulnerable children and families.
"We will change the future for thousands of our most vulnerable children by changing the present for their parents," says Miriam Shark, the Casey senior associate who oversees the Family Strengthening Awards program. "The Family Strengthening award-winners show how much can be accomplished by connecting families to the opportunities and supports they need to succeed."
