Techno Guards promote FIRST at Auburn Community Festival

The Techno Guards had a booth at the Auburn Community Festival to promote FIRST.

We talked about FIRST, FTC, FLL, and even FRC to a lot of the community. Karl and Chris built a simple robot so that we could drive around and show people what we do. We also designed and handed out flyers for the community, including some that tell people how to go about starting an FLL or Jr.FLL team.

 The Techno Guards had a booth at the Auburn Community Festival to promote FIRST. We informed people about what it is, and gave out information on starting new teams. We had several people interested in starting FLL and Jr. FLL teams. Unfortunately, our robot didn't work for very long because of a broken motor, but people were still intrigued by the sight of it and by the Legos inviting kids to come check out our booth.
