As a part of our grant from Ball and Novelis, Cache Money built a can crushing robot to promote recycling. To involve our community, we hosted a Can Bot drawing competition in the elementary school where kids thought like an engineer and designed can crushing robots. We received over 60 submissions, and the winners got a tour of our workshop and a demonstration of our robot.

Cache Money members volunteer annually at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools FIRST Lego League Qualifiers. We help with a variety of roles including judging, table resetting, and running the practice table. We also present to current FLL students and families about our team and FRC. We also show off our robots and even let some students try driving it!

 Cache Money team members helped out the University of Chicago Laboratory School's elementary school science classrooms to create water filters out of water bottles and materials from nature.

 A group of Cache Money members went to the University of Chicago Laboratory School's elementary school Makerspace and helped students to work on their engineering projects. We listened to their presentations on what they did and taught them useful skills to take their projects to another level. 

Throughout the build season, our Cache Money team presented our robot to our school's fifth graders. We went over what we did in our build season, how much fun robotics was, and gave our robot a little spin. We hope to see them on our school's FLL team next year!

Cache Money hosted an event at our school's ArtsFest (a day dedicated to the arts) in 2020 and 2024! In 2020, we had high school students simulate the FRC experience by playing "robot soccer" with bots they built from common household objects such as popsicle sticks and toy cars. In 2024, we held a workshop that taught laser cutting and design.
