We host and participate in educational events, trying to share our knowledge of technology.
Supporting the Mission of FIRST

We support the mission of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to generate interest in STEM-related activities and careers. We help assemble the fields for our FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) league. We host one of the league matches each season. We also try to encourage those in the programs for younger kids by volunteering as Referees at the FLL (FIRST LEGO League) Qualifiers and Championship.
Presentations about STEM

We visit local businesses (such as the GE facility in Minden), service organizations (such as Reno Optimist Club and the Kiwanis Club in Carson Valley) and schools (such as Eagle Valley Middle School, Carson Middle School and Fritsch Elementary School) to make presentations. Sometimes we talk about our team specifically, and other times we just talk about some aspect of technology (coding, etc.), but we always try to spread the gospel of STEM!
Community Enrichment

We engage in volunteer projects to serve our community, such as recycling bicycles for Africa. This past season, we helped the MathCOUNTS math competition by grading the tests.
