Please Help Us get to Worlds in Houston, TX!

It’s official — Denfeld High School’s DNA Robotics is going to the World Championships in Houston, Texas! Out of thousands of teams, we’ve earned our spot among the best.

 Now we have just a few days to raise $46,668 to get there.

Here’s the deal:

Our high school team is 100% community-supported. We exist and succeed because of students, volunteer mentors, and a community that believes in the team and the power of STEM. This opportunity isn’t possible without you. 

Why it matters:

This is more than just a trip. Competing at Worlds means our students will represent the Duluth community on a global stage — collaborating, learning, and competing with 600 top teams from around the world. It’s an experience that can truly shape their future.

But we need your help to make it happen.

We’re asking local businesses, families, friends and alumni to come together and support our team. Every donation — big or small — brings us one step closer to Houston.

⏰ THE CLOCK IS TICKING:

  • World Championship Departure date: April 14 (yes, that’s next week!)
  • Goal: $46,668 for travel, lodging, competition fees, and team expenses*

Our students are working hard and fundraising whenever they’re not at school, studying, or working on their robot. They can’t do this alone. You’ve supported us before — and now we need you more than ever.

Let’s send DNA Robotics to compete in the World Championship Tournament — and show the world what our community is made of.

*This total also includes the costs of competing at the Minnesota State High School League Robotics Championship on May 10th. We’re focusing our efforts on the World Championship right now, and we’ll be sharing more details on that tournament soon.
