Get Cassiopeia to Boston

This year, the Cassiopeia team from "Grigore Moisil" High School in Timișoara qualified in the final stage of the Zero Robotics High School Tournament. The competition is organized by NASA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The goal of the competition is writing of code for a robot on the International Space Station, called Sphere and getting it to rescue another robot which is drifting in space. 

The team even made the local news with their achievement.


Despite being the highest ranking team alliance (CERobotics) and the highest ranked team from Timsoara, Cassiopeia is facing difficulties in going to Boston to participate in the final stage of the Zero Robotics competition (28th Jan'19). The 8 students and their coordinator, professor Lupșe-Turpan Mircea, need to raise EUR 18k until the 20th of January 2019.

The money would be spent on airfare, hotel, food and local expenditures such as local transport and also to cover the GoFundMe fees.
