Our robotics teams have made it to the National competition and another team made it to the World championship! This is such an amazing opportunity for our kids, but it is unexpected - which comes with expense. We are trying to get a grant for our transportation, and then we would use the rest of the money raised to pay for hotels and also food for the kids. A lot of our kids are on the free and reduced lunch program so traveling and paying for food out of pocket would be financially hard for our parents.
I strongly believe that our kids have worked hard and they deserve to go to these tournaments. I will try with all of my might to get them to go. It would be an amazing opportunity.
The National championship takes place in Council Bluffs Iowa, it is the top 160 teams in the United States and China (although this year it is a lot more from USA then China) You have to win awards to get invited to this event. The team that is going took first in a tournament earlier in the year.
The other competition is the World Championship, it is our first time going to Worlds. It is the top 360 teams from around the world. It is held in Louisville Kentucky, we would be gone almost a whole week. I am SO excited and proud of these students.
