Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

We are SPCBots 3204A, a VEX V5 Robotics team from St Peter's College, Palmerston North. Our robotics club at SPC consists of over thirty students from Years 7 to 13. As a club, we are dedicated to inspiring others into careers in STEM through the VEX Robotics programme.

On the 22nd February, at the VEX V5 National Championships, we won the Design Award which qualifies us to participate at the VEX V5 World Championships in St Louis, Missouri, USA from the 21st to 24th April 2026.

Please help us fundraise so we can afford to send our students to compete and provide them a fun and memorable cultural experience.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
