FRC Teams & Community Service

[Mr. Pockets]

For the last two years our team has been doing an annual school supply collection (warning, we live in a rather well to do area. This may not have similar success depending on how wasteful the students in your school systems are)

We collect lightly used school supplies that students would normally be throwing out at end of the year, sort through to make sure taht all are of usable quality, and then donate them to a needy school in the area. Every year we probably collect roughly a quarter ton of usable materials for donation. Great times

We have a page on our webpage dedicated to our community service.

We help our town put on a local festival event. Then we put up our area with little robots and showcase the big bot.

Go and meet the politicians for your area too.

Other than that we have our eyes on STEM curriculum implementation. It's a challenging goal to have, but after a lot of work over many years we think we have something worthwhile.

There's a bunch of other stuff here too.

Our team built a robot (that looks like the robot in our logo) that's sole purpose is to make a presence in parades, Relay for Life, even walking dogs at the Humane Society events, etc. We also do things like running food drives at our local FLL events and participating in relay triathlons to benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Really, it depends on your community and your location. For us, things like Humane Society, 4-H, parades, etc. are HUGE, but in other areas, might not be as much. THINK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR COMMUNITY, and see if there are ways in which you can give back that benefit those areas...

Hope this helped
