Outreach in 2025

---

  Are you ready to unleash your creativity and build the future through robotics? Under the guidance of R2JESU’s FIRST Robotics Competition team, students have the opportunity to learn all about the fundamentals of robotics. Using XRP Robots, students acquire the skills necessary for a FIRST robotics team. Such skills include engineering, design processing, coding, critical thinking, teamwork, and marketing.  Students compete in many challenges. They code their robots to run a course in an autonomous (controlled by code) period and learn how to control their robots in teleop (controlled by a controller). On the last day of camp, students put everything they learn into action. They get to show off their robots and new skills in a tournament based off of the XRP game, Orbit Odyssey.

In addition to our week-long summer camp, our team also hosts different sessions to share robotics with the RISE students at Cor Jesu Academy. "Readiness. Intellect. Spirituality. Empowerment.

Are you ready to RISE? Cor Jesu Academy's RISE program prepares middle school girls with the skills necessary to earn admittance to and succeed at the top high schools in St. Louis. RISE is designed to supplement a student's traditional middle school education, with a focus on Math, English Language Arts and Leadership." -Cor Jesu Academy. We share coding, marketing, and what FIRST is through 4-hour sessions with 6-10 rising 9th grade girls.
