Good afternoon,
As we head into summer planning, here are some upcoming events to keep in mind. The off-season includes many outreach activities, and all students are encouraged to participate. That said, we understand this is also a time for work, travel, and other fun activities. We do ask that students make every effort to be available during our Junior Bot summer camps, as these are a major fundraiser for our 2026 season.
Robotics @ Iowa Trivia Night
Join us for a fun evening supporting the Robotics @ Iowa program as they fundraise for their upcoming competition. We’ll be demoing our robot, and students are free to participate. Family and friends can attend for $10. It’s a great way to explore future STEM opportunities and connect with alumni.
📆 Date: May 7th
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM
📍 Location: Big Grove, Iowa City
End of Season Picnic
Celebrate the end of our 2025 Reefscape season at Penn Meadows Park! This is a potluck for team members and families. We’ll be handing out Corny Awards and recognizing our graduating seniors. (Rain location: KRC)
📆 Date: June 21st
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM

Iowa City Block Party (Regional Fundraiser)
We’ll be working the registration/info table at the Iowa City Block Party. This is a fundraiser for our 2026 regional costs. We need 10 volunteers, and each participant will receive $45 toward regional or off-season event fees. Open to both students and parents.
