Outreach

We have outreached to many schools in our area. We have helped start two teams and have spread the message of FIRST and have inspired passion for science and technology. Here is a few of the things we have done.

-Presentations and the Oswego, Oswego East and West Aurora highschools.
-Assisting the Oswego teams in their Rookie years
-Allowing students from other schools to join our team if their school cannot start their own team. We have had such students from West Aurora in 2010 and from a nearby catholic school this year.
-We have presented to the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology in hopes of helping start a team at each of the participating schools.
-We have presented every year for people touring the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy to get students inspired to apply to our school and to get interested in Science and Technology and the message of FIRST.
-We have presented every year with the Kids Institute at our school that works with elementary school kids to inspire them to pursue math, science and technology.
-We have presented to the employees and staff at Caterpillar that were not aware of our teams in order to get them inspired to work as mentors for our team in the future.
-We have presented an exhibit on robotics at the Aurora Sci Tech Museum.
