Programming Workshop at Martin Library

11/9/2014

Team 225 had the opportunity to share our knowledge and enthusiasm about STEAM at Martin Library this past weekend. The session, lead by TechFire students, included an overview of FIRST robotics as well as hands-on work with FRC, FTC, VEX IQ, and Scratch programming.

We are grateful to our community partner, Martin Library, for inviting us to help inspire the young, bright minds of York! Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success.

TechFire was happy to lend a hand at the second annual FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) Scrimmage hosted by York Country Day School. The scrimmage gave York area FLL teams a chance to present to judges and get their bots on the game table in preparation for official qualifying tournaments coming up in the next few months.

A big thanks to York Country Day School for hosting this event and to all the volunteers who made the day a fun-filled learning experience for everyone.
