NextGen Inventors Collective

Make a Local Difference

The NGI collective is a community hobby organization centered around FIRST robotics teams in the central North Carolina region.

Contributing to the NGIC helps our teams purchase or replace equipment, travel to and from competitions, and explore new engineering avenues.

A donation will get your name and logo on team equipment and uniforms, putting them in front of engineering-minded families and individuals in North Carolina.
