PAST EVENTS
Water Purification Unit in our Pits!
During the 2018-2019 FIRST Robotics competition season, we had the actual water purification device located in our pits at different competitions. Our hope was to have the device as a conversation piece so other teams could learn how easy it is to spread clean water.
STEVE YENCHO PRESENTATION
One of our past events was having Steve Yencho, the founder of Water of Life and innovator behind the Village Water unit and WaterUVX technology, talk to the Robocats and give a presentation on why this technology is so important to the developing world. You can view his PowerPoint down below.
DEAN KAMEN'S SLINGSHOT
Our initialization of the WaterFIRST organization started with a screening of Dean Kamen's 2014 Documentary, SlingShot, which follows him on his journey to create a water purification system and spread it across the globe. We wanted to screen this documentary at our school because we wanted to create a profound effect on our community that started conversations. You can watch the trailer for Dean Kamen's documentary below.
