MIMS Robotics - U.S. Open and World Championship!

We finally made it! After 2 long years of blood, sweat and tears the Mandarin Immersion Magnet School Robotics team has qualified for BOTH the U.S. Open and VEX World Championship!

Our hardest challenge yet: getting everyone there! The U.S. Open is a 2 day event and VEX World Championship is a 3 day event. We are requesting just enough help to get our elementary school team to the championships.

Donations over $250 are tax deductible. Mandarin Immersion Magnet School PTO is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Please make sure to include your contact information and address to receive a receipt and so we can thank you properly!
