Dear Moogle Labs,
 
My name is Noah, I’m a 17 year old student in Vancouver, and I’m working to be an engineer. I’m reaching out to you today because my robotics team just won 2nd place at the BC Championships and we’ve been invited to compete in Houston Texas at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championships! The problem is that we currently need $27,509 to get all 9 of us (and our heavy robot) to America next month. I’m hoping that you may be willing to help my team get to the competition.
 
Our team is called Forces Unknown and we’re based in the lower mainland. We are made up of 9 kids in grades 9 through 12. We’ve been practicing and competing in FTC for the past four years, and as our team has grown older, we have improved on our gaming technique in every aspect. This past year we earned the Control Award in programming, the Connect Award for community outreach, the Think Award for engineering documentation, and the 1st Place Team Captain award at the Lower Mainland Qualifier Tournament. We are working hard to learn everything we can about engineering, while having fun!
 
We are already fundraising in many ways, like hosting spring breaks robotics camps for younger kids, running a Girls CanCode workshop, even selling donuts outside of grocery stores. Unfortunately, even with all of these fundraising efforts, we fear that we won’t be able to make enough money to cover such a large travel bill. That’s why we’re requesting that you consider partnering with us. We would love to work with a local consulting firm like yours that understands the applications of AI, and is heavily involved in STEM. I think we’d be a great match!
 
Please let me know if a financial contribution would be something that you would consider, and we can plan from there. If you are interested in meeting me (virtually) here is a 3 minute video that introduces our team (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsxFNvsaEp8&feature=youtu.be). Or I would be happy to come meet with you in person. We have to move fast as the FTC world championships are right around the corner next month – starting on April 18th. I really appreciate your kind consideration and I hope to hear back from you!


Sincerely,
Noah St. Jean
