B6 Berrellium - FLL Team

Could you influence our future?

As First Lego League National Champions, we have been invited to attend the FLL World Festival in St Louis, USA this April - 108 teams from the USA and 42 other countries! Check out the picture below - looks awesome!

We would love to go and represent the UK & Ireland in this fantastic stadium - but we need help.

Teams are usually from schools, so each family pays for one child to go. We are two families, looking for funding to send eight people (two coaches plus six children) There are other parents and suporters going, but they have agreed to pay for themselves
For six team members and two mentors coach to go to St Louis for a week in April 2017, it will cost £10,000-12,000 - which sounds a lot, so here's how we think it might break down:

These are the per person costs - as you can see it adds up to over £11,000 for the eight of us.

We also need to consider the additional cost to safely get the robots and our Lego to St Louis. And we'll need more money to produce display materials for the project presentations and our pit area.
