OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS
ROBOTICS PETTING ZOOS
Botsburgh partners with local libraries and organizations in order to make robotics more accessible to children in the community. Members of Botsburgh use Hummingbird Kits and teach the basics of designing, building, and programming robots in order to help the children create whatever animal they desire and make it come to life.
We have held 2 Robotics Petting Zoos and have reached 30 kids this season.
INGENUITY CAMP
For the past 3 years, Botsburgh has partnered with the Odyssey of the Mind: Ingenuity Summer Camp to introduce robotics to participating children, whose ages range from 7-12. The students have one week to incorporate a robotic creation of their design into an original short skit.

Our Proudest Moments
WORKING WITH SHIM
Botsburgh partnered with South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM) and held Robotics Petting Zoos for four days. Members of Botsburgh were able to reach over 120+ children from over a dozen different countries during the 2023-2024 FIRST Robotics Season.
MAKING IT TO STATES
During the 2023-2024 FIRST Robotics season, the members of Botsburgh, through tremendous efforts were able to qualify and attend the States competition. Because Botsburgh had not qualified for States since 2018, this was all members' first ever State Competition, and since then, the team has dedicated their focus to reaching an even bigger stage.
TEAM'S HISTORY
Botsburgh has been competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition since 2016. Many students have come and gone, but each former member has a place on Botsbugh.
