MLWGS Robotics Team Trip to World Championship

FIRST Robotics Competition Team FRC Team 422 needs your help going to the World Championship in Detroit, Michigan from April 25th-28th.

We are quickly trying to raise funds to be able to compete there. The budget includes registration, transportation, lodging and food for our group of 44 students, 11 parent chaperones, and 4 team mentors. We will have each attendee pay a share of the cost, but our goal is to make this as affordable as possible for our student team members. The $8000 will pay for our bus trip to and from the event and lessen the burden of cost on our students.

We are celebrating a historic robotics season both on and off the field, as we won the Northern Virginia district tournament, the  FIRST Chesapeake District Championship, the Northern Virginia District Event Chairman's Award, the Hampton Roads District Event Engineering Inspiration Award, and the Safety Award. In the past 19 years, we have never had this level of success. We are extremely proud to be recognized for both technical excellence, STEM outreach, and our business operations. 

This trip to the World Championship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students to celebrate their success this season and compete at an international level. Students will attend education conference sessions on STEM topics, see an Innovation Fair with representatives from leading innovators such as Qualcomm, Rockwell Automation, and FedEx, and speak with members from teams around the globe. 

Thank you for your support!
