“Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared”
– Bill Gates
Our team is founded on the theme of learning, and growing. The problems that we work through allow us to understand STEM concepts and principles at a first hand level. All that we learn will benefit us in our future, as well as our understanding of the world. This knowledge is too beneficial for us to keep to ourselves, which leads us to another of our large themes; Sharing our knowledge. Outreach events are opportunities for us to take the knowledge that we have obtained and share it with the public in order to inspire others to begin learning and appreciating STEM that way that we have. When we share our knowledge during our various outreach events, we are allowing so many more people to benefit from what we have learned.
During quarantine and on the weekdays, the marketing sub team uses online meetings to interact with their peers and the community overall. In these events, they organize their future events and prepare for competitions, and showcase their accomplishments from previous tournaments. This gives the team the opportunity to showcase their inspiring journey in front of communities from all over the world.
EPIC Labs Robotics directs in-person events to inform peers in the community about the many available opportunities. These may also include teaching sessions, like building a simple mechanism.
On the EPIC Labs Robotics Youtube channel, the different sub teams come together to create informational content, such as CAD tutorials, or programming lessons, to help and inspire other peers.
