Community outreach is an important part of our team’s mission. We love to engage with our community to inspire and generate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We enjoy bringing our robots to events, where we can demonstrate our robot in action! We have also participated in engineering challenges and we host and annual FLL competition at McQuaid Jesuit for middle school students in our area.
FLL Qualifier Tournament
McQuaid Jesuit has hosted an annual FLL Qualifier since 2011. About 25 teams compete every year and with invited family, friends, and press, typically over 500 people attend the event at our school. We host and run the entire competition, referee, judge and MC all activities. IgKnighters are assigned to host a team throughout the day and the FLL kids tell us that’s one of the best things about it, getting to talk to real robot builders! We hold a Q&A where kids ask questions and we demonstrate our robot. It’s easy to see the awe in the kids’ eyes as they watch our robot.
