Before the 2014-2015 FTC Season officially started, there was much to be done. We had several outreach events. Quintin went to the Surface Mount Technology Association Convention, aka SMTA, where he met several potential sponsors and other FIRST teams. At a local public elementary school, we were invited to the Dunwoody Springs Family Science Night. Elementary students came around to all the rooms to play with and experiment with different labs. We let the kids drive our Minibot Challenge Robot around and sweep up Legos, and even though hey didn't seem very excited, we were most liked out of all the labs.
Quintin set up our booth at the CISCO Stem Day, and was present along side many other FLL, FTC, and FRC teams. Many waves of different aged kids, ranging from middle to high school students, came though the room to see the FRC robots do an awesome ball-catching show, then to come and talk with the FLL and FTC teams. Quintin also brought the Minibot to work on it and to drive it around. Brandon brought the robot to the Georgia Manufacturing Expo. He met with the other FIRST teams present
We had a video conference with an engineering team at Siemens. They were very insightful and gave us many ideas for the oncoming season.We also had a new team member, Brandon. He is in 10th grade and is homeschooled.
(Put Outreach Events in Chronological Order and verify the events at each event.)
