ROBOT
WE WANTED To create a robot that was fast, reliable, and balanced.
This is what we came up with.
OUR Outreach Program
With the help of our mentors, Liwaaddine Fliss and Ben Ouedraogo, we reached out to a robotics team in Tunisia, whom we helped in their FLL projects, as well as a STEM Center in Burkina Faso, where we hope to send more materials and promote equity in STEM subjects in Africa.
We worked with the Carver Center to provide better resources for the students to explore STEM subjects. So far, we have refurbished over 15 of their laptops and setup their 3D printers. We can't wait to start teaching robotics classes to their Middle School kids!
Last year, 3 members of our team started instructing faculty members at the Mount Kisco Child Care Center and have continued doing so this year. We plan to keep this an ongoing project and keep reaching out to promote STEM in the community.
We mentored the local FLL team, The Green Brick Road, on a weekly basis - mainly aiding with strategy and programming.
To learn more about the engineering process, how we can improve, and next steps, we started a professional speaker series. We learned a lot and are very grateful to all those who took the time to tell us about their work and experience.
We had a blast introducing and teaching coding to the many young people who came to the Tri-state Engineering Expo in White Plains. We were also able to share FIRST with countless parents who are excited to look for school and community based teams near them.
