My Project
Imagine a team of determined and passionate students ready to take on the challenge of national robotics competitions. These are not just competitors but future engineers, innovators, and problem solvers who have dedicated countless hours to designing, building, and refining their robots. As they prepare to showcase their talents on a national stage, they need more than just technical skills. They need the essentials to travel with confidence and dignity.
A vital yet often overlooked part of competition readiness is ensuring students access basic hygiene essentials during their travels.
This project aims to provide hygiene kits containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, and other personal care items. These simple necessities will allow students to focus on their competition, engage with professionals, and proudly represent their school without worrying about the lack of hygiene essentials.
Your support is more than just providing hygiene kits. It is an investment in these students' success and future. Competitions open doors to learning, mentorship, and career opportunities in STEM. By supporting this project, you are breaking down barriers and allowing every student to fully embrace this transformative experience with confidence, readiness, and pride.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
