Whidbey Island Robotics Club

Our program is not only about building robots. It's about building good people -- people who will go on to be leaders in their various professions; people who will change the world. Our teams and our students not only use their technical skills to build competitive robots, but they also use those skills to give back to and improve their community through outreach and service projects.

​

Team members have exercised their skills in the community through:

​

• Supplying Menstrual Equity boxes and supplies at Oak Harbor High School and acting as FRC Menstrual Equity Coordinators for the Pacific Northwest District

• Developing a FLL team's recycling project into a district-wide learning garden program

• Travelling to help bring STEM education to an elementary school in Costa Rica

• Designing and building micro homes to be donated to local housing organizations

• 3D printing prosthetics for community members

• Building devices such as haptic hats for use by sight-impaired and balance-impaired community members

• Building and installing ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps for disabled neighbors

• Constructing animatronic deer for use by the Department of Fish and Wildlife to catch poachers

• Developing and presenting a TEDx Talk about the importance of helping others
