In 2024, we took our team to the Floris Elementary School Science Fair and introduced the world of robotics to several students. We showed them our robot and explained how it all worked together seamlessly to achieve a larger goal. This was an amazing experience for us because we got to share our knowledge and experience with students who will carry the experience along with them through the rest of their robotics careers.
In 2024, over the summer, we hosted a robotics camp to teach interested students about the basics of robotics in a fun and simple way. This was our first year running a camp of any sort, and we learned a lot. This was a big step for us because we learned that we can continue to progress our team even in the off-season.
This was our second year showcasing our work at Floris, and we were determined to do more. We took our outreach to the next level by inspiring the creation of 2 FLL teams, of which both qualified for states. This was a large accomplishment for us because we got to see the results of our community outreach
This being our second summer running a summer camp, we decided to take it to the next level by adding a 3D printing aspect to the curriculum. 3D printing is an important skill, and we wanted our summer camp attendees to be as prepared as possible for their future 3D printing careers. By continuing our summer camp, we not only got to teach more students but also strengthened our local robotics community.
