Hands On

Ctrl-Z believes kids learn best when they’re in the driver’s seat. Ctrl-Z is changing the way technology is taught and spread in our community by giving campers the opportunity to experience things with their own hands.

Overview


Over the years, FIRST FRC team 4096, Ctrl-Z, has worked hard to interact with the greater Champaign-Urbana community. During this time, we’ve run countless demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops, and camps, all pertaining to STEM and robotics. Through these experiences, we’ve learned how to work with the youth of our community and how to inspire them to make a difference in our world. We’ve taken all the experience we’ve gained from team outreach events over the past five years and applied it to construct one fun-filled and academically stimulating program for kids grades 3-5.
