Outreach Project and Community Service
at the County Fair, 2014
We used last season's robot, slightly altered, and painted blocks from the Block Party to create a field for education and outreach to the community during our County Fair. There were colored squares on the floor to match the block colors, and we showed how to use the robot to move blocks into the corresponding square. There were also opportunities for interested people to experience driving the robot. We had an educational poster that explained some of the many career opportunities that involve robots, as well as informational handouts about FIRST® Robotics.
Working at the 4H Food Booth
At the County Fair, our team volunteered for a shift at the 4H Food Booth. During this time, we were in charge of taking orders, making the items, collecting money and keeping everything clean and stocked. All money raised goes to the County 4H Council for club projects and travel expenses.
