The Milford MOJO 8085 Robotics Team is raising money via GoFundMe to cover entry fees and other expenses for both district and world championships.
The team is hoping to compete at the New England District Championships (or the FIRST World Championships), but the entry fees are $4,000 and $5,000, respectively.
The team is associated with the non-profit Milford Education Foundation, and its goal is to provide equitable STEM opportunities to members. The Milford team was an event finalist at its first competition as part of the #2 alliance and won the Team Spirit Award.
Milford’s is one of seven robotics teams across Connecticut that have qualified for global competitions in Houston and Dallas, and they’ll be among hundreds of teams from the US and over 40 other countries.
