Computer Security, Recycling and Youth Robotics

What a day for robotics, sustainability, and community!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and the Guelph Tool Library (GTL, https://guelphtoollibrary.org/) for their Computer Security Day this past Saturday.

With about 150 visitors, GTL collected 75+ e-waste items, repaired 10 laptops, and set aside another 10 for reuse—amazing teamwork for a greener Guelph!

We’re grateful for the support of the Guelph Solid Waste Department, Guelph Public Library, and Another World Virtual Reality Centre at this event. And especially thankful to GTL for inviting us to the day!

Special thanks to our FRC teams 2609 Beaverworx and 11227, and our FLL team the Fidget Knights for their inspiring robot demos.

We showed-off 2609's can-crushing-recycling robot - courtesy of a youth climate action fund micro grant from the City of Guelph. The robots' energy brought STEM to life for all ages!

Want more FIRST Robotics teams in Guelph? We do, too!
