On Saturday the team hosted an open house in our new shop, The Pirates’ Cove. We opened our doors during the afternoon for community members, sponsors and alumni to come and check out our new space. More than 100 people came by and toured our space, bought some ScalaSwag and raffle tickets and enjoyed snacks. We made a little over $500 in Swag sales and raffle tickets! Many thanks to all of the businesses who made donations for the raffle! Items from HNB House, Makers Studio, J&C BBQ, Oregon Indoor Shooting Range, Tremls Jewelry, Strawberry Shop, Bloom, Camilla’s Candles, Swings & Vines, Windswept Designs, Blessed Tree Massage, K&G, Lebanon Art Guild and Chelsea’s Craft Shack were raffled off.
The 2025 Competition season starts very soon, and we are still in desperate need of sponsors. If you or someone you know wants to support STEAM learning in your community (and have your logo on our robot) reach out to us at frcteam1359@gmail.com for more information!
