The North Kingstown, Rhode Island High School Robotics Team has advanced to the Regional tournament in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but they need your support getting there! Team leader Siddarth Koppaka and 3D Modeler Jay Patel would like to extend a request to donate to their GoFundMe Account, to help them reach their goal of $5000 USD.
North Robotics began as a team in 2012, when Siddarth and Jay were in their 9th class. The team participates in an international competition known as the FIRST Tech Challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to complete various difficult tasks by building metallic 18†x 18†x 18†robots. Teams must design, build, and program the robots on their own, with help only from an adult advisor. The programmers this year had to learn JavaScript to program the robot, which uses and Android Operating System. Another major part of the competition is Community Outreach and fundraising. All the money the team raises goes to the completion of the robot and our trip to regionals. The point of the competition that Jay and Siddarth participate in is not just to compete with robots, but to raise awareness of Engineering and Robotics in children, the future generations. By contributing to programs like the robotics club, you are helping to build the foundation of our society for years to come. Good luck to Siddarth and Jay in Pennsylvania!
