Posing with the other teams demoing at the State Fair (left) and letting kids drive the robot (right)
Every year, the Minnesota State Fair holds STEM Day which brings together student groups and businesses to celebrate STEM. We brought our robot and showed it to kids and adults, allowing everyone to try driving the robot. We had the Freight Frenzy field set up and let people pick up freight and place it onto the shipping hubs. Everyone who drove the robot received a robot driver’s license. We were there with other FTC teams so kids got to see and drive multiple different robots. We went to this demo, which was hosted by HTK, to reach more people and interest them in FTC and the STEM fields.
