To get our new students and parents familiar with the world of FIRST Robotics Competition, we hosted an orientation to introduce the core aspects of our team such as driving the robot, an introduction to programming the robot, CAD, components, and outreach and media.
We had different stations with hands-on activities, along with a brief presentation about the team. This open house style worked out much better compared to a static presentation!
We strive to give our new members a strong foundation as they begin to work on our robot and establish their role as an essential part of our team!
