We are trying to raise for a team of 10 talented pupils (aged between 14 and 17) that are participating at an event between the 23rd and 25th of March at the FIRST Tech Challenge.

The team's name is TECHNOGODS and they love anything that is technology related. They love building robots and tinkering with electronics.

Their dream is to learn as much as possible and be able to one day either have their own start-ups or work in the biggest companies around, like Google or Facebook.

Our main focus is to build the best robot and win the FIRST Tech Challenge against 90 other teams. This would allow us to then go to the USA to battle it out against the best teams from around the world

My name is Alex Budin, Creative Technologist at CP+B London and I am their mentor. I've been helping and supporting them since last year and I can assure you they are some of the brightest kids you'll ever meet. The support we got for them in Romania was not great, seems education is not a priority for anyone's money. For the few that helped us, we can't thank you enough.

They need money to be able to buy the components they need to finish the robot. They also need money for spares, accommodation and food for the duration of the event and of course for anything unexpected.

I am appealing to any persons or companies that can help with a donation.

We promise in return to make a thank you video and mention our sponsors to each and every one of our supporters, for the companies that would like to donate towards helping these pupils, we will add the companies logo to the robot.

Here are some pictures of the robot that we are currently working on right now. It's become larger since the pics were taken, but you can follow up on the team's progress on their Facebook page .

Thank you for your time and thank you for your help.
