RoboSquad's Road to Champs Part 2

Donation protected
Robosquad 5891 has qualified for the FIRST Championships in St. Louis on April 26th - April 29th, 2017 and now need YOUR help to get there! 

The Urban Assembly School for Global Commerce opened its doors to an inaugural group of 80 scholars in September 2013. We will graduate this first class in 2017. Our school is located in Spanish Harlem, by design, in a neighborhood where our predominantly low-income students would otherwise attend underperforming and failing schools. We do not screen applicants to select high achievers. We expect our scholars to live our Core Beliefs: Collaboration, Respect, and Diligence. UASGC also offers a range of after school clubs and electives that foster a life-long passion for learning, which usually are unfunded by the school and require additional fundraising efforts to support.

Despite our limited resources and funding, our  2-year old Robotics team made miracles happen again this year! 

On April 9th, 2017, Robosquad 5891 won the NYC FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the hard work of our alliance partner's The Barker Redbacks 4613 and Rohawks 3419!

HELP US GET TO CHAMPIONSHIPS!

We need funds to pay for our registration
fee, lodging, transportation, food and building materials. 

$5,000 will cover the registration
fee for us to attend the Championships.
$4,000 will pay for our Coach Bus Transportation to get to St. Louis and back. 
$1,000 will pay for one hotel room for the entire trip duration (we need 4 rooms for 13 team members) 
$500 will help to pay for our team t-shirts (we only have one right  now to use for all 4 days!) 
$250 will help pay for shipping our robot to and from the competition. 
$200 will cover food cost for one student for the entire 7-day trip and competition. 

Any donations small or large will help our team to register and survive at Championship! 

We are excited and honor to represent NYC and Harlem at the St. Louis Championships and need your help to make it happen!!
