C.O.R.E. sent three students to GE on Take Your Child to Work Day to teach the kids of employees about FIRST robotics and how they could join. We gave presentations and talks to all three groups of children. In these presentations, we told the students what FIRST was all about and how they could get involved. We then proceeded to show them our latest main robot, Mizuki and let them operate it. We also set up a race track with several VEX robots and allowed the students to test them out. Finally, we had several Lego League robots to show the students as well.

Overall, the event was a success. After seeing what they could be doing, many students left the workshop wanting to join a local FIRST team. The three students that went were Nick Zamorski (’09), Connor Zwick (’11), and Aaron May (’12).
