For the first time, Team 1816 will host a FIRST Day in Edina on February 8! Similar to SPARK Day, The Green Machine invites all Sponsors, Alumni, Parents, Volunteers, and Community members into the lobby and EPAC workshop at Edina High School. This year’s open house, with hours from 12 noon to 2 PM, comes five weeks after the FIRST Kickoff on January 4. This means there’s a very good chance that the 2014 robot will be ready for demonstrations. In addition, this year’s event will include Edina FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Lego League teams. There are now 6 FTC teams in Edina, as well as a half-dozen FLL teams.
Several will join us, to show off their 2013-14 robots and projects. One unique feature of having all Edina FIRSTTeams together in one place at one time is the entire progression of FIRST programs will be under one roof! Come discover what Edina’s robotics teams are creating this year and find a program that will work for you and your student. When you come visit us, please be sure to bring a nonperishable canned good item to donate to VEAP. We hope to see you on February 8, 2014 for the first annual FIRST Day in Edina.
