<div>We are the <strong>Mounthawk Masterminds</strong>, a team of students from <strong>Mercy Secondary School Mounthawk</strong>, and we are incredibly proud to have been selected to represent Ireland at the <strong>FIRST LEGO League Open International Championship in Greece this May 2026.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global STEM competition where students design, build, and program robots while also developing innovative solutions to real-world problems. Teams are judged on Robot Design, Robot Game, Innovation Project, and Core Values such as teamwork, respect, and inclusion.
</div>
<div>Following an extremely successful All-Ireland Final, our team was chosen based on our outstanding performance across all four areas of the competition. Being selected is a huge honour and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who We Are:</strong>
</div>
<div>Our team is made up of seven students from 1st Year to Transition Year, all with a shared passion for STEM. Since September, we have spent countless hours designing, building, and programming our LEGO Spike Prime robot, while also developing an innovative project and growing as a team for this year’s competition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Innovation Project:</strong>
</div>
<div>This year, we tackled a real-world problem: how archaeologists safely explore tight, dangerous, or unstable excavation spaces.
</div>
<div>We designed and built an Archaeology Access Rover, powered by a Yahboom Raspberry Pi, with a camera and sensors to explore these areas safely and send back live data. The robot was programmed using Python, giving us experience in real-world coding, robotics, and problem-solving.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Opportunity:</strong>
</div>
<div>At the Open International in Greece, we will compete against <strong>56 of the top teams from around the world</strong>. The event includes robot games, judging sessions, innovation presentations, and collaboration with teams from different countries, making it an incredible learning and cultural experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>While this is an amazing achievement, the cost of getting to Greece is significant. We need to fund:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Flights
</li>
<li>Accommodation
</li>
<li>Competition fees
</li>
<li>Equipment and travel costs
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are actively fundraising, but we need support from our community to make this possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Support Us</strong>
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will help us represent our school, community, and country on the international stage.
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean so much to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting young students in STEM and helping us achieve something truly special.
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s get the Mounthawk Masterminds to Greece!</strong>
