Getting our young Taranaki Robotics Team to the World Championships in the USA
Helping young Taranaki students to take part in an opportunity of a lifetime.
Taranaki
Nakibots - is a Taranaki based Robotics Team, we have 5 members and are between 8-10 yrs old.
We use the Vex IQ System which is designed to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learning for young students.
It started in July 2015 after taking part in a robotics workshop in Hamilton. There are many teams throughout New Zealand and the World but there were none in Taranaki, so we started our own club with the kit from the workshop.
We went to a couple of competitions before entering the Regional's in which we came second and allowed us to register for the Nationals which we went on to win! We are now in a position to represent Taranaki and New Zealand at the World Championships, which are being held in Louisville, Kentucky in the USA on the 20-23th April 2016.

Thank you for the support! 24 March 2016
Dear Friends and Family,
Thanks heaps for the generous donations - they will help us immensely! We are still working on the robot, the programming is coming along nicely and we are averaging a score of 75. Time is getting short, so we are practicing lots and are always finding something to improve on the robot to make it even better.
Thanks heaps for your help,
Conor
