We're more than a robotics team. We bring robotics to kids who haven't had the chance to try it, in New Jersey and abroad.
We've reached 9,000+ people at community events, helped start or mentor 7 FIRST teams, and started international projects in 2 countries.
Three ongoing programs, all planned and run by our students.
We send robotics kits, laptops and lesson plans to schools that don't have them. Our first project in Zambia led to a brand-new FLL team, and we've since started a second project in Libya.
We take our competition robot to libraries, festivals and stadiums and let kids drive it. Then we talk with families about how to join a FIRST team.
We founded two FLL teams, RoBros and Cosmic Goosling, and coached three FTC teams (Exsurgo Nova, Byte Battalion and Pancake Annihilators) on autonomous programming. Robo Rovers, an FLL team we worked closely with, won the NJ State Championship Award.
We sent robotics kits and a lesson plan to Hillcrest Boys School, and the students started their own FLL team.
One of our mentors met students there who wanted to learn robotics but had no equipment. Our members collected the kits and wrote a lesson plan covering robotics basics, programming and FIRST competitions. The students went on to host an FLL event of their own.
After Zambia, we started a second international project, working with a team in Libya over video calls. More details coming soon.
We show up at public events to put a robot in kids' hands and introduce families to FIRST.
