[Kims Robot]

We do both regular community service & science/tech related community service.

I think Beth's comments were excellent for team related stuff. (thanks for more ideas!!)

Some of our other ideas were:
- Do demos at elementary schools, or go into the classes and do a small robotics or science related project with them
- Go to an elderly home or senior center and set up email accounts for some of the members (perhaps donate a computer)


But as for the regular community service, I would argue that that still spreads the word of "FIRST". Every event we do we wear our shirts, and the sea of red&black is very noticible. It inevitably brings up the question "what do you guys do?" so we tell them... and the word of FIRST is spread. One of these days, my guess is that will spark some mother or some other student to get a team started in their area. Plus at the same time, you are growing the students & teambuilding. Community service is a GREAT way to teach students how to give of themselves, and do good things for the community in the name of the robotics team. Plus the bonding your team will get at the service event will be much greater than any team meeting. So I wouldnt just pass up those trash cleanups or tree plantings so quickly!
