Our team has made a big effort to attend as many community events as we can. We also demo our robots at local schools and businesses. We have found that many people have never heard of these competitions, so it is very fun to talk about it. Look at the list below for all of the events we attended.

Jan 2009 BSU Engineering Day Demo
	The "Engineering Day" event gets bigger every year. This is our second year attending to demo the robot and promote FIRST robotics programs. We had a projector to show video of the past years FRC events and drove last year's robot around. We had many kids and adults interested in finding out more information on the programs offered by FIRST. We also had signups for our 2009 summer camps.

January 2009 - Future Cities Competition
	We spent the day at the future cities competition in Boise. It was a fun event to watch and we had many people interested in the FIRST activities.

December 2008 - Southwestern Idaho FLL Qualifying Tournament

Since our team helped start up over 10 local FIRST Lego League teams, we also wanted to help put on the Southwestern Idaho FLL Qualifying Tournament held at Mountain View High School. It was a fun event to volunteer for and it really got us excited to compete in portland at our regional event. Many of our team members and mentors served as judges and referees. The rest of us were support staff helping competitors and their guests get to their events.

November 2008 - Rake Up Boise
We participated in Rake Up Boise by raking up a gentleman's yard. He had several large trees and we raked up and collected more than 20 bags of leaves. Many of these bags we shredded as we bagged so each bag could hold more leaves.

September 2008 - Micron Demo
	Micron invited all of the teams in the surrounding area to the site to demo last year's game. It was a great way to show people at Micron what a great program this is and it was fun to get the robots out again. We were able to have the new members help with this event so they could see how much fun this is.

2008 Lego Summer Camps
We held two Lego robotics summer camps this past year. Go to our Summer Camp website to learn more. This was a great fundraiser for us and it helped generate a lot of interest in robotics. We are going to offer more summer camps this year.

April 2008 - Science Day for Hispanic Students
	We set up a table display as well as a Robot demonstration by Jason and Zach. There were more than 150 people in attendance. Most of these were high school students from predominantly rural schools from across Southern Idaho with large Hispanic populations to encourage these students to attend college.

April 2008 - Robotics Demo at Hewlett Packard
	During the month of April, the HP plant holds an event called "Bring your inventor to work". At this event, employees bring their sons and daughters to see many demos and enjoy many activities. This was our second year showing a demo of our robot and talking about the FIRST robotics program.

March 2008 - Science Day at Boise State University This demonstration was part of a Science Competition day sponsored by Boise State University. About One hundred Middle and High School students from around the state of Idaho came to BSU

January 2008 - Discover Engineering Days at BSU This was our first year attending this event at BSU. We showed off the previous year's robot since the current one was being built. This is a great event that BSU puts on for the community.
