NOVEMBER 16TH, 2024, CHANTILLY, VA. Chantilly Robotics is set to host an exciting robotics competition for 5th and 6th graders, giving students a unique platform to showcase their skills. This event not only fosters a love for STEM but also encourages teamwork and problem-solving among participants. Led by student head referee Shrikar, the competition will engage local youth in hands-on robotics challenges designed to inspire future engineers. With the support of volunteer coordinators and mentors, Team 612 aims to create an unforgettable experience for all involved, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and technical expertise.

This competition marks a significant milestone for Team 612, as they prepare to welcome around 15 students who will assist with various roles including setup, judging, and referee duties. Kaitlin Ilnitzki, Program Manager of the FLL in Virginia and DC, organizes and runs the tournaments to ensure success. The team is actively recruiting 6-8 student referees to ensure a smooth event. Participants will gain hands-on experience while learning to navigate challenges, fostering a deeper understanding of engineering principles.

As preparations ramp up, Team 612 is focused on ensuring a successful event. Volunteers are working diligently to coordinate logistics, handle merchandise, and provide snacks for attendees. The team is dedicated to creating an engaging atmosphere where young competitors can shine. “This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn, compete, and have fun,” adds Shrikar.  

Without the support of sponsors like you, Team 612 would not be able to plan and offer such diverse outreach opportunities to promote STEM in our community. For Team 612 to continue providing opportunities to the next generation of STEM innovators, they need continued support from sponsors.
