Robotics is expensive! Help team 4242 get to Worlds!

[apm4242]

Dear CD community,

Team 4242 - Fresh T.E.C.H. (Technology Engineering Carpentry and Higher learning) is a small, 4-6 student team from Washington, DC. The team is comprised of at-risk youth who participate in the Fresh Start program with Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region.

Due to the nature of the Fresh Start program, students are rarely part of the robotics team for more than a single season, essentially making Fresh T.E.C.H. a perpetual rookie team. However, this year, the team defied the odds by, not only placing 7th at the Chesapeake District Championship, but also becoming the only Washington, DC-based team to win a spot in the 2016 FIRST World Championship in St. Louis!

The Fresh Start program, from which these students hail, is run by a local non-profit which relies on grants and donations to fund the program. Fresh T.E.C.H. needs your support to help get them to St. Louis for the first time! Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated!!
