Every year, our team visits the Culver's in Wales to serve food to customers. This allows us to share our team with the community while raising funds. During the event, we earn a percentage of the sales from the food and custard we deliver, which directly supports purchasing robot parts and covering competition fees.
Every year Kettle Moraine School District hosts a summer academy where students 5k-8th grade can sign up for fun classes and learn about anything they want from sports, writing, and even STEM. We pulled out 3 to 4 classes that were learning about programing and design and showed them about FIRST, and what FTC is and how our team works.
Throughout the past years, our team has been on many company tours. We have gained huge insight from visiting our sponsors, where we have learned all about careers in engineering, manufacturing and business. It is very interesting to see robotics function outside of FTC, and we would be more than happy to participate in more tours in the future!
