Two FTC teams. One school. A growing robotics culture
in North York built by students, backed by partners
who see it early.
WLMAC Robotics is the student-run FIRST Tech Challenge program at William Lyon Mackenzie CI in North York, Toronto. Two seasons in, we field two competitive teams, build robots from scratch, and run STEM outreach across the region. FTC turns a school year into a full engineering cycle, from design reviews and fabrication to code sprints and competition strategy. Students graduate with hands-on experience in the same workflow used by real engineering teams.
CyberLyons, one of WLMAC Robotics's two competitive FTC teams. It builds, codes, tests, and competes as part of the same student-run program, working through the full FTC cycle of design reviews, fabrication, code sprints, strategy, and competition.
MechLyons is one of WLMAC Robotics' two competitive FTC teams. It builds, codes, tests, and competes as part of the same student-run program, helping grow a robotics culture at William Lyon Mackenzie CI and across North York.
We have reached 200+ middle school students through 4 outreach events and 10+ partner schools. From MSEO 2026 workshops to our Library Open House, Grade 9 Night, and internal mentorship, we are building the local STEM pipeline season by season.
FTC gives students engineering they can hold, run, and break. Across 6+ competitions in our second year running, both teams test months of build work, strategy, driving, coding, and iteration against top teams in the region.
We treat sponsorship like a partnership, not a donation. Your brand moves with the robot, the team, the school, and every event we touch from a 1,400-student campus to community demos across North York. Each tier includes everything to its left, and every partner gets a direct line to the team.
Name on the team website and sponsor wall, recognition in the season recap post, logo on team apparel and jerseys, and name included in season media. A strong entry point for partners who want to support a young program on the rise.
Everything in Cub, plus logo on pit display and printed materials, a dedicated social media post, and an end-of-season impact report showing how your support helped our teams build, compete, and reach students.
Our flagship tier. Everything in Challenger, plus prominent logo placement on a competing FTC robot, a sponsor showcase invite, and a live robot demonstration at your office, storefront, or activation. Maximum visibility across the season.
Reach out and we tailor a package to your goals. Your logo is applied to the robot, apparel, and materials for your tier, your name appears in season media and live events, and an impact report is delivered at season end.
Sponsors can receive logo placement on a competing FTC robot, team apparel worn at qualifiers and demos, campus and social media visibility, and live robot demos depending on the partnership level. Your brand moves with the team all season.
Donated tools, parts, or services reduce the cash we need to raise. Sponsor a robot bumper, supply parts, mentor a student, or back the whole season. Additional funding means more qualifiers attended and more room to improve both robots.

A community event where 50+ students built, drove, and programmed real robotics projects. Robotics made tangible for families across middle schools like Dublin Heights, Willowdale, and C.H. Best.
The Mackenzie Science and Engineering Olympics brings over 30 middle schools from across Toronto to compete in science and STEM mini-olympics. Over 100 students got their first taste of FTC-style engineering at MSEO 2026.
Partnered with the New York Community House at Yorkdale, this hands-on workshop introduced 60+ students to robotics and engineering. Attendees worked on engineering projects involving arduinos, wiring, and programming to understand how engineering works in real applications like traffic lights and electric motors.
Both CyberLyons and MechLyons competed at the February 2026 Toronto qualifier, testing months of build work, strategy, driving, code, and iteration on the field.
