Outreach

Student Volunteering

As of 2020, each Code Red Student completes 24 hours of individual community service in 5 cycles over the year. This can amount to about 2,000 collective hours of community service per year. Students work at local soup kitchens, the Ithaca Children's Garden, or even fixing Ithaca City School District computers.

Team Outreach

As an organization, Code Red Robotics does many demonstrations and team service events for the community. Code Red attends summer camps, local elementary and middle schools, library events and more! If you're interested in a robot demonstration or you need volunteers at your camp or event, please see the contact page.

Shadow a Code Red member!

Want to see if our team is for you? Fill out the form and shadow a Code Red member!

Our new program allows middle or high school students to shadow a Code Red member for an hour during build season and get a taste of what participating in the FIRST program is like.

Open House

With nearly 400 attendees from the community, Open House allows science and technology organizations to meet and allows the public to learn and be inspired.

Jr. FIRST LEGO League

FIRST organizes technology competitions for elementary school kids, using LEGOs. This branch of FIRST competitions is called Jr. FLL (Jr. FIRST LEGO League.) Code Red Robotics has started 28 Jr. FLL teams in Ithaca, and actively mentors in multiple elementary schools across Ithaca. Under the guidance of the Jr. FLL participants' parents, teachers, and Code Red mentors, students create LEGO creations and presentation boards. In January, teams from across NY State come together and share their creations.
If you're interested in starting a Jr. FLL team at your school, or a FIRST LEGO league team at a local middle school, please contact the Code Red Robotics Community Outreach officer.
