The outreach team conducts business and organizes team activities that do not have to do with nuts and bolts. We raise money for various charities in order to give back to our community. We also communicate with our wonderful sponsors that provide money for us to construct a robot and function as a FIRST Robotics team. Outreach focuses on organization, business, and communication. The business plan for our team functions to organize and have a budget in place for the money that we receive and spend. Overall, we reach out to benefit our community and provide for our team as they benefit us.
Space RAIDers 2537 is always working to increase our visibility and presence in the community. In addition to the outreach events where we present our robot, and our community support activities, we have built relationships with other FRC teams for support and to achieve joint goals.
Recently, our Co-Leads Lydia Taddese and Frankie Pace, along with the help of several rookie members, began planning an Open House for community members, alumni, and future sponsors. They created a list of companies that could potentially supply us with materials needed. The leads were able to contact companies like Costco, Trader Joes, Harris Teeter and multiple feeder schools. They also started creating activities including a robot driving event and a Scratch coding competition. Additionally the rookies have begun learning the fundamentals of Bus-Dev and finance.
