Giving back is what Guerrillas do.
A really big part of the FIRST experience for teams is Outreach: Speaking to students, school groups, and at community events. Outreach serves several purposes: It helps teams hone speaking and interview skills; It helps bring awareness to team initiatives; It helps promote STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Team 469 participates in several outreach events in our communities, during competition season and offseason as well. Our recent outreach activities include:
- Bloomfield Girls Robotics Competition
- OCCRA FTC Competition at IA
- Relay for Life
- Walk for Wishes
- Be the Match
- UV-C Germicidal Machine
- Hybrid Summer Workshops
