The team also fundraises to support expenses such as registration, travel, and materials, and mentors middle school students to promote STEM through outreach and community events.
 

Planned Activities & Meeting Schedule

Throughout the academic year, members will design, build, and program robots and drones; prepare for and compete in local, regional, and national robotics competitions; participate in fundraising efforts to support club goals; and host outreach events to engage younger students in STEM. Meetings are held weekly, with additional sessions scheduled as needed.
