What We Stand For:
We believe that FTC is more than just competition - its a service. Every year, we host and participate in many STEM events that bring robotics to our community. We are committed to inspiring future generations through hands-on experiences both in Wilmington and beyond. We wish to share our passion for robotics to motivate youth to explore technology. We truly enjoy spreading our love for robotics to others. If there are any events you would like us to be present at, please check our contact page to reach us!
This page highlights our most impactful work and ongoing community engagement. We aim to update this page every single season with our latest efforts! Below are some of our recent activities.
Summer Enrichment Programs
Over the summer, our team runs many robotics related programs including coding classes and mechanical courses to teach robotics to students of all ages.
Analog Devices Conference Booth
In conjunction with FTC Team #5795 Back To The Drawing Board, we presented our robot at a demo booth at a Boston Analog Devices Conference. This connected us to real-world engineers of all different backgrounds and allowed us to spread the reach of our robotics program.
Annual STEM Fair
Every year, we participate in the Wilmington STEM Fair. We have been a fan-favorite for years, and our booth is positioned right at the entrance! Over 400 families attend this fair each year.
AutoStore Presentation
We met with engineers from AutoStore, a company that leads in warehouse robotics. We shared information about our robot while also learning about career paths in industrial robotics.
Wilmington Library Workshop
We hosted an interactive demo at our local library, guiding families through the basics of robotics. We allowed kids to build their own small robots with parts that we provided, resulting in hands-on fun for everyone involved!
Drama Club Fundraiser
In partnership with our school's drama club, the Lamplighters Drama Guild, we hosted a robotics fundraiser where we sold 3d-printed keychains for the drama club while also interacting with visitors about FIRST and our robotics program.
Mentoring Other Teams
The Wilmington Middle School is home to two FTC teams - Team #16921 Apollo and Team #22618 Artemis. Throughout the year, our members go to the Middle School after hours and help them with mechanical and software challenges. Recently, we taught them how to implement advanced pathing libraries such as Roadrunner, granting them impeccable autonomous performance.
