On Monday, September 7th, members of our team traveled to Des Moines for the Science Center’s second annual Mini Maker Faire. We were able to demo our 2014 robot and play catch with many children. We also gave three presentations with FRC 4646 ASAP, FTC 5126, FTC 7714, and ISU Lunabotics.
Yesterday, twenty Neutrinos and mentors gathered to assemble FIRST Lego League mission models that will be used in Iowa Regionals and the State Championship. In total, We made about eight kits. We are excited to volunteer on December 13 at the FLL regional at the Science Center of Iowa.
Last Saturday, Team Neutrino had the pleasure of being represented at the Science Center of Iowa’s Women in Science event. The purpose of this event was to get girls excited about STEM, and so we explained 3-D modeling using Google Sketch-Up, and showed the Solid Works drawing of the robot. It actually worked out really nicely, because our table was right next to the 3-D printer! Besides being a fun-filled way to spend our Saturday, we were excited to be able to share our passion for FIRST with the girls who came to the event. Thanks to the Science Center for hosting this awesome opportunity!
