Team 1334 - In the Community

Team 1334 participated in the recent July Midnight Madness event, enthusiastically sharing FIRST with the Oakville community.

Now in its 30th year,  Midnight Madness is Downtown Oakville’s largest retail event of the year, drawing a crowd of over 50,000 to enjoy a variety of community performances and sharing new activities.

We were located on Thomas Street in front of Circus Chocolates, a team sponsor. People young and old participated in the hands-on operation of the FRC and FLL robotics creations made by the FRC teams 1334 (Oakville Trafalgar) and 3161 (Holy Trinity) and FLL team 3663 (E-Bots).  Many people previously unaware were pleasantly surprised to see the youth actively involved in such an amazing program offering promoting Science and Technology and had lots of fun operating the robots. We can anticipate many more new recruits to FIRST as a result of this exposure.

Thank you to all who dropped by our booth.
