Outreach
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) isn’t just about robots, outreach is also a big part of the program! When performing outreach, teams spread the awareness of FIRST and STEM to people not just in their community, but globally as well. The point of outreach is to help get others interested and excited about STEM. This is where we volunteer in our community to uplift and advance STEM programs, especially for youth. One of the most rewarding things we do is give back to the FIRST programs for younger kids that many of us came up through.
iSPACE
iSPACE is a not-for-profit organization governed by .iSPACE exposes children to STEM principles found in the most in-demand career fields, starting from coding and chemistry to rocketry and robotics. The three of our team members had the opportunity to help iSPACE with the iSPACE day event as a part of our team’s outreach. iSPACE day is a free annual event that showcases the wonders of STEM education and careers. There were also local STEM-based-businesses that will feature demonstrations on the latest 3D Printing, surgical instruments, aircraft engines, GPS, drone technology, and other amazing advancements in STEM! We were honored to help kids aged 5-10 the basics of CAD, helping them CAD a moon charm on tinkercad , and 3D Printing it.
