Community Outreach

Our members regularly volunteer at Advent House on the 2nd Sunday every month to help their mission by helping prepare and serve meals to individuals in need. Our students select the meals, shop for ingredients, cook the meals, delegate tasks and say a prayer for the guests before the meal is served.

Students who serve get to:

• Create a meal plan and budget to serve 100 people
• Shop for ingredients within budget constraints
• Prepare and cook meals
• Serve food and interact with community members

Once a month, our teams partner with Essential Blessings to assemble care packages for homeless individuals in our community. These packages include essential items, hygiene products, and information about local resources.

Package Contents:

• Non-perishable snacks and water
• Hygiene items (soap, toothbrush, etc.)
• Warm clothing (socks, gloves, hats)
• Resource cards with local services
• Encouraging notes from team members

We organize one annual park cleanup event on Earth Day, combining environmental stewardship with team building. Students learn about environmental impact while giving back to the community spaces we all enjoy.

Impact:

• One local park cleaned up
• Tons of litter removed annually
• Teaching students about environmental impact
• Families, students, and siblings learning how simple tasks can make a difference

Featured Parks:

We participate in educational expos and homeschool conferences to share STEM learning opportunities and inspire other young people to explore technology and robotics.

Our Presentations Include:

• Live robot demonstrations
• Coding workshops for kids
• FIRST LEGO League information sessions
• Hands-on building activities
• Career exploration in STEM
• Lansing tech community networking events

  "The park cleanups are actually really fun! We get to work as a team, help the environment, and then played at the park, while we ate lunch. It's a great way to give back while hanging out with friends."
