STEM FOR ALL!
One of Team 2847's missions is to encourage interest in the area of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in our community and beyond! To that end, we provide STEM activities at local events such as the Interlaken Heritage Days celebration, assist Martin County KnowHow with their elementary VEX IQ build sessions and tournaments, 3D printer classes, and STEM Camps. We visit the elementary school for Lunch with a Robot, give tv and radio interviews, do robot demos at the MN State Fair on STEM Day, participate in the Homecoming Parade, advocate for funding for additional STEM education, present updates to our school board, man a booth at the county fair, work with at-risk populations, and hold open houses for our families, sponsors, and community. We also participate in advocacy for STEM initiatives.
