To spread the word about robotics, the team participates in local science and engineering fairs as well as various other community events. In events such as the County Fair, students teach community members about the program. Our team also goes to local middle elementary schools to encourage students to explore science and technology, and possibly join our team when they attend high school.

SOME OF OUR GOALS
A goal of ours is also to streamline fundraising methods that allow the team to work towards providing funds for our program while still allowing students to focus on participating in robotics. We hope that by establishing annual community fundraisers, such as Mother’s Day flower sales, our program will become sustainable and decrease the overall time we spend fundraising to allow for more robotics activities.
