FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is an international competition focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It is organised by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in partnership with LEGO Education.
Teams participate in an annual challenge based on a real-world problem, where they must design, build and program a LEGO robot to complete missions on a competition board. They must also develop an innovation project and demonstrate values such as teamwork and inclusion.
WHO ARE WE??
We are Jatta Printi, a robotics team made up of 3rd year secondary school girls (9th grade). We have been selected to represent Spain at the FIRST LEGO League Open Africa Championship, which will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from the 7th to the 9th of May. We are excited and ready for this big challenge!
We're not just building robots, we're building the future! We are a team that shows that robotics and engineering is for girls, and we want to inspire more young people to have the confidence to dream big. 🌍
This year we've made history again - for the second year in a row we qualified for the FIRST LEGO League National Competition, which took place in Ferrol (Galicia, Spain) on 29 March 🎉. This time we achieved a double victory in the regional phase:
🥇 First place in the Robot Game with 290 points.
🥇 First place in the overall ranking.
This year, although we didn't win a direct place in an international competition at the National Final in Ferrol, we were next in line thanks to the impact of our innovation project! Now we have the opportunity to show what we can do in Cape Town, and we need your help.
OUR INNOVATION PROJECT
The innovation theme for FLL SUBMERGED 2025 focuses on exploring and protecting the oceans, promoting sustainability and caring for our marine ecosystems.
We focused on the recovery of SPOT tags.
These are small, expensive devices used to monitor various data from marine animals. Although equipped with GPS and radio frequency, they are difficult to locate at sea due to their small size and other conditions such as waves. If they are lost, not only are valuable economic resources wasted, but also valuable scientific information that may be unrecoverable.
Our proposal,** T-Bubble**, is an inflatable system that makes the tags more visible and easier to recover.
WHERE DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?
In order to represent Spain at the Open Africa and make this dream come true, we need support. Travel, accommodation and living expenses are high, so we are looking for sponsors and patrons to help us cover the costs.
**✈️ Transport: **Flights to Cape Town.
🏨 Accommodation: Accommodation for the whole team.
🍽️ Living expenses: Meals during the trip.
👕 Merchandise and equipment: T-shirts, sweatshirts and team merchandise.
This crowdfunding does not cover the total cost of the trip, which is much higher. The goal is just a small contribution towards a real budget of between 18,000 and 20,000 € to cover expenses like transportation, accommodation, food, and everything else needed. While it won't cover everything, any contribution, no matter how small, will help us a lot to make this dream come true!
Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our dream. In addition, as a patron or sponsor, your name or company name can appear on our gear and in our presentations.
📢 Be part of our adventure and help us show that girls are the future of robotics! 🤖
** ABOUT THE REWARDS**
Not only will you help us make our dream a reality, but you'll also get some great rewards! 🎁 From public recognition to exclusive t-shirts and your name on our website, there's something for everyone!
📅 All rewards will be sent out around May, so you can get your recognition and souvenirs of our adventure in time.
