Maryland Advocacy Conference (MDAC) What is the Maryland Advocacy Conference? In 2016, the Power Hawks (FRC 1111) lobbied the state government with the backing of Delegate Reznik to provide a state grant for robotics programs which was successfully passed into law. In 2018, FRC Teams 888 and 1111 wanted to lobby for more inclusion and a larger amount of funding, so the Power Hawks started MDAC for this purpose. With help from other FRC and FTC teams in the state, two bills were cross-filed in 2019 and again were successfully passed into law.

National Advocacy Conference What is the National Advocacy Conference? The Power Hawks are proud to have participated in the National Advocacy Conference for the past three years. The conference goal is to change culture to increasingly value STEM, and we must get our policy makers in our nation’s capitol on board, knowing about and supporting FIRST® and STEM in education. If we are not there telling them about our experiences, no one else is. This conference helps to train students and mentors to be prepared for for meetings with their Senators and members of Congress in their offices on Capitol Hill.

Soaring Engineers What is Soaring Engineers? Soaring Engineers is a set of interactive lessons and activities that were designed to introduce kids to engineering and robotics. Soaring Engineers is flexible with student ability and given classroom time, preferably between 1 and 3 hours. Our program is designed for elementary and middle school aged students, and typical Soaring Engineers lessons are run entirely by Power Hawks students and will consist of a design challenge and a small-scale robotics competition, as well as multiple stations that teach basic engineering and physics principles. We have multiple concepts including - but not limited to - simple machines, simple circuits, and design concepts. We have hosted many different events at multiple schools in the past; building and designing small robots at Edgewater Elementary School, making simple circuits at Old Mill Middle South, creating cotton ball catapults at Crofton Middle School, and more. If you or someone you know would like to be a part of this program and host an event/lesson then you can contact our events coordinator and to start to soar.
