Spreading the Message of FIRSTThe Omnicats believe that representing and giving students within our community the opportunity to have access to robotics and to FIRST is just as important as preparing for the competition. Our first project took place at Grand View Elementary School, a Title I school. At Grand View Elementary, we taught children the basics of Gracious Professionalism by demonstrating respectfulness during teamwork sessions while giving these children a hands on experience with robotics. We also host a large amount of VEX scrimmages. In the summer, we offer FLL and VEX summer camps for elementary and middle school students. Through these programs and initiatives, our team strives to embody the messages of both First Robotics and Windward School.

We are grateful to the Boeing company for their continued support of our robotics team and our school's STEAM program Boeing believes in the positive influence that exposing young adults to the STEM fields can have. Boeing supports their belief by donating to Team 1452 every year. In addition to all of this, Boeing offers a coveted seven to eight week internship during the summer after junior year to many Windward students who are highly involved in the Windward community to give students the opportunity to see a job in the STEM field in application. |
