Blueprint Hackathon Organization Fair

My name is Nicholas and I'm a former co-captain of FTC team #11212 The Clueless from San Diego, California, and a current student at MIT. I'm reaching out to FTC teams in Massachusetts for an outreach opportunity at MIT for the Blueprint Hackathon for high schoolers which has been going on since 2017. The Blueprint Hackathon will have a 1-hour Organization Fair in the Stata Center where 200 students will learn about STEM opportunities from organizations such as FIRST robotics. It takes place on Saturday, February 18. We are looking for one team to come and interactively display your robot and talk about your experiences in FTC as well as share any advice you have for forming teams and helping rookie teams get started. If you're interested, please reach out to me by email or text at nxliu@mit.edu or 858-245-0611 no later than January 21.
