We organized our district's first unified Robotics Day, bringing together 10 FTC teams for mini scrimmages and seminars on programming, Driver Hub operation, outreach strategy, and Onshape CAD training. A speaker event gave 100+ students the chance to hear from STEM professionals, FTC alumni, and FIRST leadership, including a staff software engineer, a Cal Poly Pomona computer science professor, a FIRST FTC event coordinator, and a former Los Osos robotics co-captain now at UC Berkeley.
Hands-on robotics demonstrations for around 250 families and 100 younger students, introducing FTC through live robot demos and showing underrepresented groups that STEM and FIRST are open and accessible to everyone.
We ran a booth with FTC team GrizzlyTech 23929 at a city community event, reaching about 500 Inland Empire residents with hands-on programming activities and Halloween-themed STEM challenges.
We assisted with a three-week camp for about 30 elementary students, hosting hands-on workshops on basic coding, robot design, and sensor use. 90% of participants reported increased interest in STEM.
We co-organized our school's annual STEM fair with GrizzlyTech 23929, welcoming about 500 guests. Families interacted with FTC members through activity booths and live robot demos, and around $200 was raised and reinvested into team materials and future outreach.
Interactive robotics demos at the Goldy S. Lewis Community Center and other local centers to expand awareness of FIRST programs.
