On June 22nd, 2024 SARA held a free-to-enter Aerial Drone Competition at their booth at the SACHA expo. The Aerial Drone Competition is a Competition created by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (REC), an organization that hosts multinational competitions. Additionally SARA and the FTC teams Dynabytes, Incinerators, and The Howlers gave youth the ability to try driving FTC robots. In total, throughout the 6 hour event SARA gave about over 30 attendees the opportunity to challenge themselves in the Aerial Drone Competition, giving them a chance to enjoy STEM and possibly inspire them to begin participating in more STEM events. Those who participated learned teamwork, planning, and communication skills, and some even walked away with awards such as Highest Scoring Team and Overall Champion. By holding events like these SARA continues to build youth interest in STEM.
