FTC Team #25690
Decode Season (2025-26)
Evergreen Valley College Community Event
At Evergreen Valley College, we engaged with approximately 50-60 people of all ages, including professors, parents, college and school students. We promoted our Summer Workshop by distributing flyers. We brought our basic drivetrain for a fun hands-on driving experience and raised $140 by selling brownies to support our team. Additionally, we learned about the coding and engineering programs offered at Evergreen Valley College and how they relate to robotics.
Evergreen Elementary School Community Event
At Evergreen Elementary School, we connected with around 30 families and introduced FIRST/FTC. We also showcased the robot we used in our previous season, and explained what our challenge was about and how our robot participated in it.
Farmer's Market Events
At our local farmer's market, we raised $150 through selling our custom made shirts and tote bags and donations. We passed out flyers advertising our Summer Workshop and explained the parts of our robot and the game for the previous season. We also brought our basic drivetrain for kids to drive around as they learned about FIRST and what we do as a robotics team.
Robotics Summer Workshop
During our two-session Robotics Summer Workshop held in June and July 2025, we introduced kids to the fundamentals of programming, hands-on robot building, computer-aided design, and the FIRST robotics program. Through this engaging workshop, we successfully raised $4,000 to help fund our team's robot for the 2025–26 season.
Summer Workshop participants say...
​"I liked how it was hands-on and allowed the participants to be involved with the activities. My favorite segment was assembly. One interesting thing I learned was how to attach the wheels and make a chassis." - S.R., 8th grade
​​"I enjoyed learning in a positive environment and the way that the team taught us" - R.P., 7th grade
​"I especially enjoyed the coding and building segments of the workshop. Something interesting I learned about was the invention of mecanum wheels." - A.G., 9th grade
​"One thing I liked about this workshop was the CAD segment, and how to use the tools provided in CAD. An interesting thing that I learned in this Summer Camp was how mecanum wheels function." - B.V., 9th grade
Primrose School of Evergreen Event
In the Primrose School of Evergreen – Summer STEM Outreach: Delivered engaging live demonstrations of both FLL and FTC robots to summer program students, sparking excitement and curiosity about robotics. Introduced the fundamentals of FIRST programs, inspiring young learners and their parents with a clear roadmap for starting their own teams and joining the global FIRST community.
Stellar First Robotics Expo

An interactive meet‑and‑greet with FTC teams, featuring live demonstrations for kids and parents. Visitors to the expo experienced competitive robotics firsthand and gained an inside look into the excitement and teamwork that drive FIRST competitions. We collaborated with FTC Team 18340 - Polaris Robotics to conduct the outreach.
FLL Mentoring
Our team members with FLL experience are mentoring and sharing their insights with Tech Titans #66511, supporting and guiding them as they prepare for the new season, Unearthed.
Reid-Hillview Airport Community Day
Reid-Hillview Airport Robotics Outreach was a full-day community event where we showcased the impact of FIRST programs to a diverse audience. Alongside five other FTC teams from across the Bay Area, we collaborated to set up interactive stalls, supported one another in sharing robotics knowledge, and took the lead in running the official FIRST education booth. Throughout the day, we engaged with STEM enthusiasts of all ages, inspiring curiosity, teamwork, and a passion for hands-on learning in robotics and engineering.
Tom Matsumoto Elementary School Trunk or Treat!
At the Tom Matsumoto Elementary School, Trunk or Treat event, Evergreen Tech-a-Trons brought robotics and STEM excitement to both elementary and middle school students. Team members hosted a lively booth filled with games, treats, and interactive activities, where kids learned about robotics and STEM concepts in a fun, festive setting. Team members are passing flyers regarding FLL and FTC robotics programs. One highlight was letting kids take the controls and drive the team’s creatively decorated robot on the field, sparking curiosity and inspiring future innovators.
Into the Deep season (2024-25)
​​SlimeFest
During our Slime Fest, little kids enjoyed making slime while learning about our robotics team and FIRST/FTC. We raised $150 through donation to help fund parts for our robot during the "Into the Deep" season. We connected with around 40-45 kids, sparking their interest in robotics while sharing some creative fun.
Reid Hillview Airport Event
During our booth at the Reid-Hillview Airport Event, we connected with people of all ages and spread the word of FIRST. We brought our basic drivetrain to the event so that people could experience driving it. We also interacted with other FTC teams and received advice for our coming season.
