Otumoetai College to World Robotics Championships in Dallas!

$1,620 of $52,000 goal
Given by 24 generous donors in 5 weeks

Help send our Otumoetai College Robotics team to the World Championships in Dallas! Let's bring home the World title for a fourth time!

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Our club has two teams that have earned entry into the World VEX Robotics Championship after coming in second place during a very competitive tournament in the New Zealand Nationals Tournament last week. We are immensely proud of our achievements, and we are eager to represent our country on the international stage. Over the past decade, our club has proven to be a formidable competitor in the world of robotics, having earned the title of world champions three times (excluding the past two years, which were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic).

However, in order to attend the tournament and represent our country, we need sponsorship to cover the costs of sending over 8 students and 2 adults. The cost to get them the team and equipment there is $6,500* NZD for each student. We have so much to raise in such a little amount of time. Please help get these incredible kids to the world championship, to bring home the title for a fourth time!

*(The initial estimated total cost was $70k. However the team has completed pricing and negotiations and has thankfully seen this cost reduced).

Use of funds

The funds raised will be used for on Flights, Accommodation, Insurance, Vehicle Rentals, Tournament Fees and related expenses.
