Overview: Team 612 Brings Robotics to Life at the Winter Carnival


CHANTILLY, VA, DECEMBER 9TH, 2024. Chantilly Robotics is excited to participate in the 2024 Winter Carnival at Brookfield Elementary School on December 14th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event will feature engaging robotics demonstrations and hands-on activities aimed at sparking interest in STEM among children and families.

Team 612 will host an outreach booth and present a 15-minute robot demonstration in the cafeteria, introducing attendees to the mission of FIRST Robotics and explaining the exciting world of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). The team will showcase their robot, allowing kids to interact with it and even take turns learning how to drive it under the guidance of Team 612 members. “This event is a fantastic opportunity to inspire young students and introduce them to the possibilities of robotics,” said Francis Navarro Lim, Outreach Organizer. “Our goal is to not only demonstrate what FIRST is all about but also to make robotics fun and accessible to the next generation of innovators.”

Led by Himneesh Medisetti, the outreach team of 6-8 members, including drive team members William Wagner (Coach) and Victor Moldoveanu (Gunner), will operate the robot and interact with attendees. Team members will be on hand to engage kids and parents in discussions about FIRST, Team 612’s projects, and the exciting world of robotics. Through activities like this, Team 612 continues its commitment to outreach, community engagement, and inspiring young minds to pursue STEM education and careers.
