At the start of the season we sent out a google form to act as an interview and to gauge interest in our school’s robotics program. We promoted the robotics program at a school assembly with a demonstration, and in the end were able to recruit three new team members. 

Our school encourages community members to invite people of all ages to try out social and emotional intelligence as a way to empathize with ourselves, others, and the world. Pleiades had the opportunity to connect with children and adults. We ran last year’s robot, Tacky, and played a game for candy and stickers. This was an amazing chance to provide younger kids a taste for STEM. We also talked to parents and older students about the first program 

At the end of the semester, our school hosts an exhibition of learning to share all of our hard work with the community. Robotics set up a stand with our new robot, Arson, and our Christmas ornaments that were for fundraising. Many parents and members were supportive and enjoyed our presentations. 

We are always open to new ideas and support with other teams. Rocky Mountain High School contacted us to scrimmage in hopes to learn something new about the driving and coding process with the games layout.
