This December Team Neutrino hosted the Month of Cardboard at the Ames Public Library. Each week people of all ages came in and built with cardboard and make-dos. We had people build, spaceships, astronauts, snowmen and cities out of cardboard based on our weekly theme. We had a great time helping everyone build their heart’s content and introducing STEM to more people. We’d like to thank the Ames Public Library for all their help and support!

At the event, we used cardboard Makedo screws to make assembly easier. Check out their website and buy your own here!

Showcase At the ISU Research Park!

Team Neutrino is a robotics team made up of high school students from all around Story County that works for a seven-week build season beginning in January to design, build, and program a ~125lb robot to face each year’s challenge and compete against other teams at three-day competitions. 

The team will hold a showcase on Thursday, December 5, 4:00-5:30pm at the Core Facility Commons. We are excited to meet potential investors and mentors for their team. We will also be serving cookies! Everyone is welcome to attend.

Outside of the build season, we spread the message of FIRST and inspire young kids in the Story County community to pursue a career path in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through mentoring teams, hosting summer camps, and volunteering at various other outreach events.

Happy 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing!!! We are hosting a free event at the soccer fields next to the Story County Fairgrounds from 2:00-5:00 today.

Due to forecasted rain, here is the revised schedule:

2:00-3:00 Build and launch your own straw rockets, paper rockets, and bottle rockets

3:00-4:00 Enter to win the chance to launch one of our model rockets

4:00-5:00 Build and launch your own straw rockets, paper rockets, and bottle rockets

We hope to see you there! Watch our Twitter/Instagram @frcneutrino for updates!
