Walter Bracken STEAM Academy

The day before the Las Vegas tournament, we (PHI Alpha and PHI Omega) visited Walter Bracken STEAM Academy in Las Vegas.  We invited all other FTC teams from the Las Vegas tournament, and two (PHOENXTRIX from Folsom, CA, and FIX IT from BC, Canada) came to help.  We demonstrated our robots and talked about FTC with third- through fifth-graders.  The FLL team also got to demonstrate their robot for us, which made them feel really special.  We hope to come back next year!

Here are some pictures from our Las Vegas outreach.



PHI members show off their robot's arm.


We set up software to drive the robot.


PHI members respond to kids' questions about robot design.


A team member illustrates how the robot arm works.


Kids get excited as a robot scores rings!
