Hi! My name is Alex, and I'm 12 years old from Austin, Texas. Ever since I was little, I've been fascinated by robots and how they work. This year, I've been selected to participate in our regional Science Fair, and I want to build something really special - an AI-powered robot that can recognize faces and respond to voice commands! ## What I Need the Money For - **Arduino Kit & Sensors** - $150 - **Raspberry Pi 4** - $75 - **Camera Module** - $50 - **Motors & Chassis** - $100 - **3D Printed Parts** - $75 - **Miscellaneous Components** - $50 ## What You'll Get Every supporter will receive: - Regular video updates of my progress - A thank you card (hand-drawn by me!) - Your name on my project board at the science fair ## My Timeline - **March 2026**: Order parts and start learning - **April 2026**: Build the robot body - **May 2026**: Program the AI features - **June 2026**: Science Fair presentation! I've already been learning Python and Arduino programming through online courses. With your help, I can turn my dream into reality! Thank you so much for believing in me! 🤖
