The Outreach Engagement Report is a paper I wrote to report on STEM outreach conducted with K-12 students. It is 10 pages, and details numerous activities from across a year. While I wrote this paper with a few other people, I personally guest lectured for a series of ninth grade robotics classes, was a keynote speaker at an event with over 100 people and created workshops involving small robots used to teach the engineering method to children.
For this paper, we received the National First Place Award from NASA, in competition against 35 other universities. Among the prizes was a Real Moon-Flown Flag, returned from the Artemis 1 Mission. However, the most fulfilling part of this project was getting to share the engineering I was so passionate about with curious children. There's something so personal and magical about sharing years of hard work in these robotics' projects with curious strangers.
