Outreach

Our Impact

WAVES is more than just an acronym - it’s our guiding mission for outreach. We strive to spark WONDER in STEM, inspiring curiosity and excitement in the next generation of innovators. As AMBASSADORS of FIRST, we collaborate with other teams to spread its values and expand the reach of STEM education. We believe in reaching a VARIETY of people, ensuring STEM is accessible to all, regardless of background. Our outreaches encourage EXPLORATION, creating hands-on opportunities for creativity and discovery. Most importantly, we aim for SUSTAINABILITY, building lasting initiatives that will continue to grow beyond us. Through WAVES, we make an impact, one outreach at a time!
