Outreach

Robotics matters most when it opens a door for someone else. Team 9668 shares engineering through demonstrations, mentoring, school events, hands-on activities, and projects that connect technical work to community needs.

2026–2027 current season

Make every event repeatable.

Each outreach activity should have an owner, audience, date, location, safety plan, equipment checklist, photo permissions, recap, and next step. That record turns one good event into a program the next group can run better.

Demonstrate

Bring the robot, explain the systems, create safe interaction, and make engineering visible.

Teach

Help younger students move from curiosity to a first build, program, test, or design decision.

Connect

Invite families, educators, industry, alumni, and community groups into the team’s work.
