Agenda: Umpqua Valley Arts Summer Arts Festival in Roseburg, Oregon
In Attendance: Coach Cynde, Sean, Tristan, Liam, Connie, Aidan
Note Taker: Sean
Tasks: Community Outreach, Mentor recruitment, and new team member recruitment, overall support for FIRST Robotics for students
Reflection: We talked to hundreds of community members and visitors at the event over the 3 day weekend. We shared flyers about FIRST Robotics. We did our best to show that there is an art to engineering and robotics and that innovation = creativity = art! We offered to connect families with teams near them. We invited businesses to support FIRST Robotics in Oregon and in Douglas County and consider becoming mentors for local teams. We explained that being a Mentor is a small commitment that means a lot to Robotics students and helps them be better prepared for life and success.
We paid $100 to have the Non-Profit booth space for the weekend. We invited all the other SOAR FTC teams to share the booth for outreach, and were joined by Biobotz 2.0 and the Mini Maniacs. We got to use the Harvard Avenue stage to demonstrate our robots and talk to the public. We taught some young audience members how to drive our robot, and we had fun reconnecting with some of our League mates. It was a great day!
