On the island of Molokai, we are taught from a young age that giving back to our community is very important. As Molokai is a lightly-populated, rural, and isolated area, we feel that it is important to spread the ideologies of STEM throughout our community.
Our community service includes -Hosting the Molokai VEX IQ League. This gives all on-island VEX IQ Robotics teams an opportunity to compete without having to spend their funding on inter-island travel. -Mentoring elementary school robotics teams around the island -Demonstration booths at annual community events -Demonstrations at elementary schools -Public speaking events to spread awareness of educational competition robotics
In 2024, Molokai Robotics was awarded the VEX Community Award at the VEX Robotics World Championship. The team was recognized for its efforts in bringing educational and competition robotics back to Molokai during and post-COVID.
