This year, we have done a number of outreaches, to professional companies, communities without much access to robotics, and schools, where we can inspire our peers to participate in STEM activities as well.
School Outreaches
We have done multiple outreaches at schools, including our own school Bowditch, to our peers. We have taught kids in younger age groups about robotics, at Audubon and Brewer Island elementary schools.
- 360+ students impacted
- 8 overall presentations at schools
Professional Outreaches
As well as presenting to people our own age, we have presented to people in the STEM field. This includes companies such as Medgenome and CZ Biohub.
- 2 STEM companies reached
- 30 professionals contacted
International/Interlingual Outreaches
We have broken language barriers by presenting to classes in Hindi. We presented to the Hindi class at Chinmaya Mission, where we taught them about robotics and informed them about FTC. We also presented to over 50 8th and 9th graders at Vidya Niket School in India and interested many of them in joining our summer classes.
- 75+ students presented to
- Talked to 2 students about starting their own FTC team
Summer Training
Before the 2023-2024 we held our summer training classes in which we helped over 20 students dive deep into the world of robotics. We taught the the basics of hardware and programming and helped them build their own Arduino robots.
- 20+ students impacted
- Every student build their own robot
