We hosted and ran this event with two other teams (The Masters 8641 and Theta Robotics 10695). The first day of this event we held workshops, did networking, and played video games with teams from Utah, and 1 team from Romania. The second day we held scrimmages, playing Freight Frenzy one last time before the new season .
We are working to make this event a yearly tradition. We have been working to invite teams from all over the western United States for nextyears Wasatch Mountain Invitational (WMI).(100 Reached/Impacted, 72.5 Hours)
Some of our girl members participated in this event. As part of this event they were split into groups and did various STEM related activities, while getting to know other girls interested in STEM. (15 Hours, 150 Reach/ Impacted)
We hosted, ran, and planned the FTC FPA Qualifier. We also had concessions for the event. As part of this we set up and took down, worked out logistics, among other things, competing all the while. We hosted 31 teams from around Utah and Idaho. 182 Hours, 300 Reached/ Impacted
This season we visited Silicon slopes to make connections with businesses. While there, we learned how to start a good conversation with business owners, as well as honed our presentation skills. We also learned how to ask for sponsorships as well. We created a sponsorship packet for businesses to see what FTC and FIRST is all about, introduce our team, and ask them to participate in our team sponsorship ranks. This sponsorship packet was given to the companies we visited to spark their interest in our Teen Tech Conference.
