This past fall, Harrisburg FIRST® turned to Team 341 for help in designing and running a Robotics Day at the Pennsylvania state capitol building, complete with robot demonstrations and a press conference. To draw interest, Harrisburg station WHBG-TV20 shot a twenty-minute video segment featuring students and mentors from our team. During the taping we talked about FIRST®, encouraged schools to start teams in the area, and invited the community to attend the Philadelphia Regional. We invited Philadelphia area teams to join us at the conference, transported equipment, and worked with Harrisburg’s Whitaker Science Center to support the day’s events. All of Team 341’s representatives and senators attended the conference, speaking with our team in person and honoring us on both the House and Senate floors. Our efforts to recruit teams has paid off: three new teams from the Harrisburg area registered for the Philadelphia Regional this year!
