Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corp
In April 2024, we hosted an exciting outreach event with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps Kelowna (RCSCC), welcoming 30-40 youths eager to explore the world of engineering and marine robotics. Through interactive activities, we introduced the cadets to our sub-teams, allowing them to engage with our members and discover the real-world applications of STEM in marine robotics. This inspiring event fueled their curiosity and creativity, showcasing the potential for future careers in these fields and reinforcing our commitment to educational outreach.
Expo of Awesome with Okanagan Region Schools
In May of 2024 at the Expo of Awesome, we collaborated with local schools to engage 120 students from Grades 4-6 in hands-on STEAM activities at UBC Okanagan. Our highlight was a fun boat-building competition where students used cardboard and duct tape to create vessels capable of carrying weight. This activity fostered creativity, teamwork, and introduced basic engineering concepts. Our outreach efforts aim to inspire the next generation of innovators and align with the values of the RoboSub program, strengthening community connections and promoting a love for STEM learning.
