Student Volunteering

As of 2015, each Code Red Student completes 4 hours of individual community service, every month! This usually amounts to about 2,500 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 for the public. Code Red attends summer camps, the NY State Fair, local elementary and middle schools, and more! If you're interested in a robot demo at your camp or event, please see the contact page.

Code Red Robotics Annual Open House

Each year, Code Red students organize and host an Open House. This exciting event includes build session tours, exhibits, and more. The event takes usually occurs in February, during Build Season, and is free to the public!

Science and Tech Exhibits

Code Red students present interactive exhibits such as live animals, slime-making, and explorations of sound. Local clubs and business also present exhibits and demonstrations.

Robot Demonstrations

Code Red students drive old robots, and allow attendees to ask questions, explore the robots, and even drive them on their own!

Community Event

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.
