The Red Beard Pandas LOVE to share the excitement of FIRST at all levels, and STEM in general!
Our latest effort, supporting coaches new to FIRST Lego League, is our Robot in 30 hours challenge, with simple mission examples for this year's Unearthed challenge!
Our Panda Pals effort is a summer program to build a robot-adjacent project, introducing middle and high-school students to hand tools, power tools, programming and teamwork: what FIRST Tech Challenge is all about!
Every year, we try to reach as many people as possible and it still hasn't stopped! We continue to teach kids about STEM and gracious professionalism. Teaching all across the state, we've been able to make a huge impact. Over 300 kids this year have been able to program a small robot to do simple tasks.
