Team Leaders,  post-season activities:

Mpls-St. Paul Maker Faire

The Maker Faire has asked FRC to combine our efforts in presenting the work teams have done on game robots.  Your team can still have a separate booth but they request that you not show your competition robot.   Here’s an overview of the Marker Faire:

The date for the Faire is June 2nd from 10am to 6pm.  The booth will be located inside the Grandstand at the MN State Fair grounds.  Details on load-in, etc. can be found at (http://msp.makerfaire.com/maker-info/ )

Education Day is on Friday, June 1st.  The purpose is to exhibit for qualifying 7th graders to help get students excited about making and STEM.  For more details, see (http://msp.makerfaire.com/education-day/ ).

If your team is interested in presenting at the Faire, please let me know (MarkL56821@aol.com)  So far, there is only one team signed up.

Minnesota United FC soccer game

It’s FIRST Robotics Day on July 14th at the Minnesota United FC match against Real Salt Lake.  This is a celebration for all the FIRST Robotics programs (FRC, FTC, FLL, and FLLJ) with events throughout the evening starting off with a pre-match parade of FIRST teams.  Tickets can be purchased at a discount and all teams will be assigned adjacent seats.  Here’s how it works.  Tickets are purchased through this webpage (https://www.fevo.com/edp/Robotics-Day-with-Minnesota-United-FC-7YmXCOfR ).  You will need to add your team number/name  (e.g., 1816/The Green Machine) during the checkout process and share your referral link with teammates, friends, and family to ensure that everyone is sitting together. A lead person can purchase all the tickets or pass the link along to others to purchase individually.  Anyone that buys from your link at the same price point (tickets are $20 and $30) will automatically be assigned seats as a group 48 hours before the event.  Fans will receive their tickets via email right after assignment.  More info will follow as the date gets closer.
