FRC Team members, coaches, and mentors support the FIRST Mission by volunteering at local FIRST FLL and FTC tournaments and events by serving as tournament volunteers and judges throughout the year. This is an essential element of our fundraising strategy as it provides an opportunity for our team to support the FIRST programs and teams.
This year, our team will support the following FIRST events:
• FTC Java Programming Workshop 1- Aug 2019
• FTC Skystone Kickoff at Central Magnet- Sept 2019
• FTC Java Programming Workshop 2- Sept 2019
• FLL High Mach Qualifier in Tullahoma- Dec 2019
• FLL State Championship- Feb 2020
• FTC TN State Championship- Feb 2020
• FIRST Championship- April 2020
The first star in our fundraising strategy represents the Team member who show commitment to the program by participating in team meetings, community outreach, and tournaments. Team members must follow the FIRST Philosophies, Values and Mission treating others with courtesy and respect at all times while valuing the diversity of thought and championing of ideas. We want to be sure all team members feel appreciated, respected and included.
Families represent the second star by providing the logistics support the team member needs including transportation, team registration fees, and supporting the team by attending events. The most successful teams in FTC can be measured by the level of parent and mentor involvement. Simply put, the more parents and mentors are involved in the program, the more successful the team will be. Each team member pays a small registration fee to cover personal protective equipment, tools, and supplies.
The final star represents financial sponsorship from community sponsors and organizations who help pay for the program resources the team needs to fulfill the learning goals of the TRC program. Our club honors this investment from our community sponsors by participating in robotics demonstrations, STEM camps, educational outreach events, and team workshops throughout the year. Team members also perform community service and outreach in appreciation of our sponsorships received. Example events include supporting robotics camps, programming workshops, robotics demonstrations, and other community outreach events.
