Tech HEds team going to Japan!

On 2 February, the Tech HEds team was one of 24 teams participated in the UK final of the FIRST LEGO League.

They won the Technical Design Award, took fifth place in the Research Project and took sixth place in the robot game. This was good enough for the team to have been in second place overall. They have now been invited to participate in the Open Asia Championship in Tokyo from April 25-30.

The team has to raise the money for this and it will cost up to £12,000:

	1 person	team
Event fee		£560
Flights	£600	£6000
Subsistence	£400	£4000
Team shirts	£20	£200
Gifts for other teams		£750

If you would like to help sponsor the team, please email to let us know. Alternatively, you can pay money direct into our bank account with Nationwide Building Society:

Account name:	North Wilts Home Educators
Sort code:	07-00-93
Account number:	33333334
Reference:	0350/703 893 120

We will be very grateful for any amount - many small amounts will add up.
