Throughout our time as a team, we have hosted many outreach events to inspire students like us to join the robotics community and involve themselves in STEM and FIRST.
On November 9th, we are hosting a scrimmage at Ashburn Library. Hope to see you there!
In partnership with Curie Learning, we conducted a kickoff event for the new 2025-26 FTC Decode Season. We had many fun activities and a livestream for the new game.
In partnership with Curie Learning, we conducted our first ever in person summer camp to expose students to FTC. Students create their own 'mini' FTC eam for a week. Together, they build and program their own FTC robot, and showcase it to an audience!
Our first annual hackathon coding competition. Students had 24 hours to create a game or project relating to a certain theme! We also conducted many bootcamps during this competition such as intro to Python, Java, and AI.
We had a booth in the Academies of Loudoun's annual Maker Showcase, where we showcased our team, FIRST, and the concept of competitive robotics. We presented and spoke to educators, parents, and students about how to get involved in FIRST and robotics. We did demo runs of our robot along with a hardware and software showcase to inspire students. We also setup our trifold and awards for others to see. This was a great opportunity to showcase ourselves, FIRST, and robotics!
In partnership with Curie Learning, we conducted online sessions covering the basics of FIRST, FTC, and robotics. We went over hardware parts, 3-D modeling, programming concepts, Python crash course, marketing, logo design, and even a live robot demo!
We hosted many open events in libraries with many stations such as 3d printing, Java programming, robot driving, AI experiments, hardware challenges, and more!
