    A Pizza Party Supporting STEM & Inspiring Innovation

    Celebrate 25 Years of Impact in 2026

    Honoring the Amazing Central Florida Robotics Teams

    Z.I.P Ties, Super 7 & All Wired Up!

    Join the Philanthropy Committee to kick off 2026 with purpose, community, and pizza! Join your fellow SIM members as we celebrate the incredible robotics students who are shaping the future of technology in our community.

    This special pizza-party event highlights the three outstanding student robotics teams (Z.I.P Ties, Super 7 & All Wired Up) who received philanthropic support from our chapter. You’ll meet these remarkable students, hear about their upcoming competitions, and see firsthand how SIM’s support helps fuel curiosity, confidence, creativity, and innovation.

    And while this event is all about supporting these amazing students, 2026 is also a meaningful milestone year for SIM. We’re celebrating 25 years as a chapter. These students are a powerful reflection of what that legacy represents: education, opportunity, and lasting community impact made possible through our members and partners.

    At this celebration, you’ll get to:

    • Enjoy a fun, casual pizza-party atmosphere
    • Meet the robotics teams and hear about their exciting journey
    • See how SIM’s philanthropic support truly changes opportunities for students
    • Reflect on 25 years of SIM giving back to the STEM community in meaningful ways
    • Connect with members while encouraging the innovators of tomorrow

    Your involvement matters. Your support matters. And these students are proof of what 25 years of community commitment can do.

    Join us to cheer on these incredible students, celebrate the impact SIM has helped create over the past 25 years, and kick off 2026 with purpose, inspiration, and plenty of pizza!

      • Volunteers notified: February 23, 2026
