OUTREACH

Our Mission

We started as students with a love of creativity and robotics, and we never forgot what it felt like to experience it for the first time. That's why outreach isn't just a checkbox for us, it's a core part of who we are as a team. Whether we're mentoring FLL teams, running booths at STEM festivals, or introducing Cub Scouts to coding, our goal is simple: make robotics feel exciting and accessible to everyone we meet while inspiring curiosity and innovation.

FIRST LEGO LEAGUE

What is FLL?

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global STEM program for ages 5–16 (grades K-8) that introduces students to engineering, coding, and robotics through hands-on, themed challenges. Teams build, test, and program LEGO robots to solve tasks, while developing research projects to address real-world problems, culminating in celebratory tournaments.

FLL Course

For Spike Prime

We built an FLL Coding Course for anyone jumping into robotics with the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Set. Whether you are brand new to coding or gearing up for FLL, this course will walk you through everything you need to know about programing for FLL wile still keeping things hands on and fun. This course was requested and given to over 145 FLL teams from 30+ states in the USA and Canada, so if you are interested, check out the page called Free Courses!

Competitions

+ Scrimmages

We ran a booth at the Massachusetts FLL State Championship (2025-2026 season), showcasing our robot to spark interest in FTC and hosting interactive coding games and other activities targeted specifically toward FLL competitors. We also served as referees at an FLL scrimmage to support a fair and fun environment for competing teams. Volunteering at FLL events lets us contribute to the same community that inspired many of us to get into robotics — whether running a booth or officiating matches, we're committed to strengthening the FIRST ecosystem in Massachusetts.

Mentoring

+Teaching

We give back to the robotics community by mentoring and teaching both local and out-of-state FLL teams, sharing the knowledge and experience we've built in FLL and FTC to help younger students thrive in their competitive robotics seasons. We help teams design and build their robots, guide them through creating successful innovation projects, and show them how FLL is as much about collaboration as it is robots. With interest in mentoring from numerous teams all over the country, we are trying to help build a stronger robotics community and inspire the next wave of FTC competitors. We currently teach team 45481, The Fantabulous Robogirls, from Illinois, with plans to expand our mentorship to teams in New York and Texas during the 2026-2027 season. Additionally, we have guided teams 74122 LEGO Benders and 65777 Tech Tornados from New Jersey, and Team 73341 Blitz Botz from California, in developing competitive and effective FLL robots.

NextGen Stemfest 2026

We participated in the NextGen STEMfest on May 30th, 2026 at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, MA! STEMfest is a free to attend, community-wide STEM festival that attracts many attendees. We showcased our Decode competition robot, along with our "Minibot" - a passion project from the off-season. Our station also featured an FLL robot-building activity. We impacted over 300 people, with more than 60 attending our FLL building station. Thank you to everyone who came!

MakeIt Fest 2026

We participated in MakeIt Fest 2026 on June 13th in Nashua, NH! MakeIt Fest is a community event celebrating creativity, innovation, and hands-on STEM learning.

At our booth, we showcased our FTC competition robot and spoke with students, families, and community members about robotics and FIRST Tech Challenge. We also brought our offseason Minibot, which attendees could drive themselves. Over 100 students, parents, and community members got hands-on experience with the robot, helping spark interest in STEM and engineering.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made the event a success!

Cub Scouts Event

We partnered with a local Cub Scout troop to bring hands-on robotics and engineering activities to young students in our community, introducing them to problem-solving and the excitement of STEM. We were able to work with around 30 students in kindergarten to 4th grade through our 3 activity stations.
