Season Events

Here are some things we’ve done for outreach over the last few years. 

• Summer Teaching & Recruitment (Boot Camp):  Exposed middle school students to robotics topics through open house nights which led to 12 students signing up for a summer learning program. During this program our students mentored the recruits in: Robotics, CAD, & Programming. This is part of sustainability for FIRST and STEM at KM.

• School Functions:  Attended many open houses, expo nights, and parades to showcase robotics to the KM community.

• 30-hour build:  Participated in a 30-hour build at Homestead High School.  This was a ton of fun and gave our team a headstart on this year's competition. We also made new friends at the event and gained exposure for the team. Thank you Homestead Robotics!

• Company Tours:  Participated in company tours to learn about real careers in engineering, manufacturing and business. We took four tours in the last year. (Aries, WI Engraving, Generac, and Rockwell Automation)

• Fundraising:  Sent out and delivered sponsorship letters to sustain and fund our season. Worked at a Culver's Cares night and sold kringle to raise funds and bring robotics club awareness to the community. 

• WI Lieutenant Governor Visit:  Met and talked with the Lt. governor about the value of FIRST robotics and how it helps drive STEM at KM.

• Social Media:  Manage our website and Instagram accounts. (~300 followers)

• Neighborhood Support:  Participate in Adopt-A-Highway program to clean up local roads.
