We are HBS Infinity and are a Year 8 VEX IQ team from The Henrietta Barnett School in London. We are also known as 10173G. We are looking to raise £8,000 that allow us to go to World Championships in Louisville, Kentucky, USA in April 2018. The money will go to accomodations, flights and anything we will need throughout our stay. We are truly delighted to be given this once in a lifetime experience. Any donations/sponsorships are encouraged and would greatly help us as they are our only hope to achieve our dream of competing at Worlds in the USA.

We are extremely passionate about STEM, Robotics and Enginereering and as a result we managed to qualify for Worlds in November 2017 by winning the Excellence Award along with the Driver Skills Award at the Hertfordshire Regionals in Hertfordshire University Sports Village. We also won the STEM Award at the National Vex Competition held in Telford the 1st March 2018.

Although we love building and driving our robot, we are also extremely interested in the STEM Research aspect of VEX IQ. This year's challenge is based on Robotics Engineering and Ethics in STEM. We have chosen 'Genetic Engineering in Robotics', a topic that we are looking to deeply study in the future. It is a developing field with increbible potential. Genetic engineering gives us many possibilities such as the ability to cure life-threatening diseases and disabilities. We strongly feel that our research will encourage women interested in STEM around the world to share their opinions and experiences.
