Our Einstein alliance partners from last year need some help making it back to Championships this year! If you have the means, please consider donating to help them make the trip.
BumbleB 3339 from Kfar Yona needs your help!!!
We, BumbleB 3339, have won the Israeli robotics Championship two years in a row. We are now heading to the world Championship in St. Louis and need your help getting there.

BumbleB 3339 is a robotics team with 40 students from Ish Shalom high school, Kfar Yona. We compete in the international FIRST Robotics Competition, with thousands of teams and hundreds of thousands of participants worldwide.
During the season, the students build and plan a robot in 7 weeks, which they compete with. Throughout the building process, the students are required to think outside the box, gain professional skills such as engineering design, project management, programming, team work and strategic thinking and develop self-confidence and leadership.

Contribution to the Community:
Other than creating a new generation of scientists and engineers, we help our community in many different ways, such as volunteering in a hostel for people with intellectual disabilities, mentoring younger robotics teams, helping elementary school students, spreading the power of science and technology to various kinds of communities, etc..

In 7 years of existence, the team has won numerous awards and represented Israel 4 times in the World Championship. In 2015 it reached an unprecedented achievement, becoming the first team out of North America to qualify for the "Einstein" grand final, with the top 24 (out of 3000) teams in the world, including teams that are supported by NASA, Google, Boeing, Intel and other technology giants.
This year, we secured the Israel Winner title (with the 3rd best score worldwide so far - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbLkHBhuKmk), and on the 27-30 of April we will compete in the World Championship in St. Louis, USA, trying to reach similar, or even higher, results.
Our journey's expenditures (flights, hotels, food, robot transportation, tools, etc.) reaches approx. 104,000$, what makes it hard for the kids to participate in the experience which they worked for so hard. We look for partners who will join BumbleB's family and help us in funding our journey. Would that be you?
