As a member of First Tech Challenge and High Tech Kids, we want to increase awareness in the community to STEM and Robotics. We do this through various outreach events in our community. Below are a few recent highlights

The Hackercats team was invited to go to Flint Hills Resources (an oil refinery in our county) to share their robot with the employees and do mock matches with the other teams in attendance.
The team was also taken on a tour of the facility to learn about how many of the things they are working with and learning in robotics relates to job fields at Flint Hills.

Girl Scouts River Valley Robotics Day
On Sunday, January 25th, 2026 our club went to a Girl Scout meeting to talk about FTC to over 100 Minnesota Girl Scouts that were there. At this event, we helped them learn to code Spheros, taught about FTC and engineering, and demonstrated our robot. Because of our involvement, each Girl Scout was able to get 3 badges related to STEM.
