We hosted a STEM booth with STEM Night activities and education for students and parents at Stuard Elementary School. Students took part in an engineering activity in which they had to make catapults out of rubber bands and popsicle sticks. If they didn’t succeed, they had to repeat the task and redesign it. Approximately 120 students took part in this activity.

LX3 Tour

LX3 is a local company based in Aledo, TX, that let us tour their facility teaching us about the basics of CNCing and how they conduct their operations. They were kind enough to CNC Aledo Robotics's logo on a slab of Aluminum.

Flyset

This was an event hosted by 8565 Technic Bots and we presented about our podcast and outreach to about 300 people in person and online.

Benbrook Library Summer Camp

Over the summer, we set up and taught a robotics summer camp at the Benbrook Public Library.  We showed kids how to design, build, and code Lego EV3 robots, and promoted FLL by introducing its challenges.

Tarleton Visit

We got the opportunity to tour the Mayfield engineering building, we had Dr. Agapie speak to us about their majors' applications. They showed us the applications of LiDAR on robots and the various graduate projects they were working on. We were very grateful to reach out to them and have their support as future mentors.

We took a tour of the DEA Aviation facility and learned about how automation is used in drug apprehension and seizure. This put into perspective how robotics is used in all fields.

DEA Lab Tour

We took a tour of the DEA Lab facility and learned about how automation is used in drug apprehension and seizure. This put into perspective how robotics is used in all fields.

Educational Presentation

At a district and state public speaking event, one of our members gave an educational presentation on how to build an engineering portfolio for a FIRST robotics competition

Aledo 4H

One of our members is apart of the Aledo 4H, which works to inspire people to join different fields of engineering. We were able to host one of their meetings where we taught people what we do in Robotics and how we can help shape the engineering work industry.

Stuard Elementary STEM Night

We hosted a STEM booth with STEM Night activities and education for students and parents at Stuard Elementary School. Students took part in an engineering activity in which they had to lift a Ping Pong ball from a designated distance using paper, tape, and paper clips. If they didn’t succeed, they had to repeat the task and redesign it. Approximately 75 students took part in this activity.

Introduction to FIRST and Robotics for the Scouts

We had the opportunity to host a class for the Scout Troop in our town. We taught them about the basics of FIRST Robotics and circuitry. We used circuit sets to teach them about how the flow of energy works. We used our robot to teach them how energy flows to make motors move.

4-H Roundup STEM Booth

We educated over 3000 participants of the 4-H Roundup about various STEM topics including FIRST Robotics and how a robot works. We let the participants drive the robot around to get them engaged.
