Science, Technology & and Boo!

A number of team members participated in STEMFest at NIU this weekend.  Got to play robots with five other FIRST FRC teams and shared the impact of STEM education and activities with a great audience and connected with a Lego League team from Dekalb.  

This coming weekend, Winnovation will be helping the village at the Scarecrow Fest on Saturday in downtown Winnebago.  We've also relocated our Haunted Maze to the Village Hall.  Stop by and say hi this weekend.

And, last but not least, the mini bot game will be released on Saturday October, 27.  Look for details here and on the team update page.

Lots of Community Service

Over the past few weeks Winnovation FIRST Team 1625 has been logging a lot of community service hours:

  • Participated in the annual Walk For Ben in Winnebago - September 15
  • Helped Rockford Park District with their Fall Festival at Lockwood Park - October 6 & 7
  • Helping Winnebago Chamber of Commerce with the Fall Festival, hosting our Haunted Maze at the Town Hall this year- October 27
We've also been hard at work on Mondays and Thursdays with shop "clean up" and remodeling.  Progress is slow but we're beginning to turn the corner.  Received a wonderful donation of industrial shelving which will give a lot more storage space.
