Starting our outreach to elementary schools!

MXR has aimed to reach out to our local elementary schools for a while now, and we have finally started this outreach near the end of September.

On September 26th, Christian S (VP), Alex X (build lead), Aniket T (code lead), Wilson (FTC builder), and I (president) presented Milpitas Xtreme Robotics to Weller Elementary.

Weller has a new robotics program, with many young students that are exploring their growing passion in hardware and software. It was really nice talking to the elementary students, who were all filled with excitement and interested in learning more. They had so many good questions for us! We hope that we will be able to do more to support their program soon, by sending volunteers from MXR to help out at their workshops and to bond with the students.

We all also hope to be able to continue reaching out to the other elementary schools and giving presentations like this one. The students and teachers say we inspire them, but personally I believe they inspire us, to keep pushing forward and creating opportunities for students to explore robotics!
