Community Outreach

Outreach is our way of giving back

and helping the next generation get excited about STEAM.

We want students to see that science, technology, engineering, and math are tools you can use to build things, conquer challenges, and create opportunities for themselves and others.

When we do outreach, we bring the robot, share how it was designed and built, and talk about what goes into a season to to show what is possible when you combine curiosity, effort, and collaboration.

We want younger students to see themselves in these fields early. Ask questions, try things, and realize they do not have to wait until college or a certain class to start learning how this works.

Open Houses

We invite the public to our Hangar, our robot shop, where our students design, build, and test the robot throughout the season.

Open houses are a chance to see the progress up close, meet the team, and learn how hands-on engineering, programming, and manufacturing come together in real time.

Whether you are a student, parent, sponsor, or just curious about robotics, we would love to have you stop by and see what FLYT is creating.
