Why Donate, Sponsor, or Volunteer?

MATE is a volunteer-driven organization.

Our mission is to inspire and challenge students to learn and creatively apply science, technology, art, engineering, and math to solving real-world problems in a way that strengthens critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation. We are fortunate to have a dedicated pool of volunteers and welcome additional individual and organizational contributions in-kind. Financial and material contributions are also important to carrying out and sustaining this program; sponsorship packages can be tailored to the resources and interests of potential contributors.

We look forward to working with you to identify a mutually beneficial relationship that advances the education and inspiration of ocean and robotic technology professionals around the globe.
