Ways we believe the League of Extraordinary Roboticists, FTC Team 8699, have inspired their community to action delineated by a 🌟
2013-2014 - background info When up and coming Co-Captain G. Edward (G) was in 6th grade, the 6th grade STEM class asked the teachers to have a Tech club, when the teachers asked what would they like to do in the Tech Club 90% of the students indicated they wanted to do LEGO Robotics. Since none of the teachers knew about LEGO Robotics, Coach Bell was asked would she be willing to come in after school to run the program. Coach Bell and FLL Co-captains G and Dre volunteered to teach LEGO Robotics and did so on some Monday's after school. That was the beginning of discussions... 2014-2015 - background info Danbury opened up a new STEM and Global Studies Academy school The League of Extraordinary Roboticists, FTC Team No. 8699 (the League) was launched and due to the prior relationship, the League was allowed to have its meetings at the new school in the open cafeteria for reduced rent. Students and teachers learned about the League by seeing team members build and program their robot for competition and through community outreach events sponsored and held by the League. The League had its first Annual Pi Day Fundraising Event on the Ultimate Pi Day 3.14.15 beginning at 9:26 am and invited the entire community to attend. The event was held at Henry Abbot Technical School, which has an enormous Pi Symbol in front of it....the beginning of discussions... 🌟Robotics and Beyond in New Milford launches new FLL team, members of our FLL and FTC team and Assistant Coach help out 2015-2016 🌟Vex Robotics Team Started at New STEM Academy, Co-Captain G recruited as team member.
