What's with all the ducks?
Nobody knows who- but one of our members has been hiding tiny ducks all over our facility... and now they've reached the website! Can you find them all?
Just like our mysterious duck hider, we spread outreach into the community to spark joy and build a nest for everyone.
This page is being updated by our team. Check back later for more information!

Macomb Reads
2022 - present
Our team has hosted an exhibit at Macomb Reads, a county-wide reading carnival, ever since 2022. This year, we came back bigger and better, bringing 3 FRC robots, mBots, a 3D printing table, and our entire team. Kids drove our FRC robot and talked to us about FIRST. Our mBot station was a mock FIRST tournament where kids drove and programmed robots. We reached over 3,300 people, half being children aged 12 and under.
Girl Scout Camps
2022 - present
We have 3 Girl Scout camps: introductory, electrical, and programming. The introductory program provides 3 badges and is focused on teaching the basics of STEM, using Spheros and Spike Primes. This camp was highly successful with 360 scouts completing it and requesting more in depth camps! Our sub-teams then created specific curriculums for programming and electrical badges using their favorite introductory activities. The electrical camp covers basic circuitry and wiring concepts, giving Scouts in-depth hands-on experiences. We’ve grown these camps from 82 Scouts in the first year to a total of 360 since 2022!
Summer STEM camps
2021 - present
With the MISD, we hosted 3 summer STEM programs for 100 elementary students, completely free. These were focused on accessible and assistive technology and emphasized the importance of giving back to the community. The students learned about tools, soldering, block programming, and designing accessible technology. The end-of-week challenge is to design a robot that helps a visually disabled person. This challenge embodies our team’s mission to use our STEM expertise in service of others and empower all to grow up as problem-solvers who can make a meaningful difference. At the end, students present their design to us and their parents!

Fll and Ftc Summer camps
2025
Over this summer, Team 4810 ran a 5 day camp for 50 K-8 students from Trinity Lutheran, a local private school. It was focused on FLL and FTC skills like design, build, and programming. We created a FIRST-like mock season to introduce new families to the FIRST program. The K-5 students worked with Spike Primes. The 6-8 students worked with M-bots. The curriculum was created by our students and was completely student-led.
Spreading Wings
Assisting other FRC teams
We work with 8 other FRC teams every season in our facility, where we have a full-sized, student-built field. I.AM.Robot enjoys helping other teams while improving both of our robot designs. We also share the Kickoff event with Team 6099 Knight Riders, where we analyze the game and prepare for the season.
Building Nests
Selfridge air show
2024
We Co-Hosted a STEM event with FRC Team 1718 at the 2024 Selfridge Air Show, and we are hosting the 2026 Air Show. We ran half of the STEM exhibit by bringing an entire FRC field. 25 other teams from around the state of Michigan played matches with us to show off FIRST to 250,000 attendees of the Air Show.This partnership started small with us collecting cans to raise money, and then it rapidly evolved into us bringing our practice field, just like a duckling grows! Our team always aims big, and we turned it into a grand display of the impact of STEM and FIRST on the lives of students.
Hack-a-thon
2025
Hack-A-Thon is an event where people of all ages work towards making accessible toys for disabled children, called “Meaningful Making”; as 16% of MISD students are disabled making it a priority. Over 50 people ranging from students to adults were able to modify 150 toys to be accessible to children with disabilities! These toys can cost $200 or more, yet we donate them for free. We donated these toys to children in 5 schools with disability programs.
