Outreach

RISE with YETI is a YETI-original, after-school program that provides opportunities to schools lacking resources for STEM programs. In our local community, there are over 193 Title 1 schools, and the goal of this program is to provide an affordable gateway to STEM for young students. 

#FIRSTEmpowered is a YETI-pioneered global social media campaign. Started last season, the campaign began in our local community, as we handed out flags at our competitions with #FIRSTEmpowered written on them, as well as #IamMoreThan____, prompting the individuals in the FIRST community to state the ways in which FIRST has empowered them.

Our classes and demos serve as another primary avenue where we are able to reach individuals and engage them with the FIRST message, along with STEM and business concepts. Each year, we make it one of our priorities to consistently host classes and demos for individuals across our community, whether it be for elementary schoolers or senior adults.

Our FIRST Family is extensive as we start teams and host competitions, spreading the message of FIRST everywhere we go!

YETI Robotics advocates for STEM education on the national, state, and local levels via attending conferences and meeting with representatives and senators.

YETI recognizes how much the community has given us and to foster an environment of paying it forward, we provide a myriad of avenues for members to truly make a difference.
