Impact Report
What our team gives back to students and the community.
By the Numbers
Our second season, measured. ArrowDynamics went from a rookie team working out of a borrowed room to a program that funds itself and mentors others.

In the Community
FLL Workshops
Since fall 2024 we have run free FIRST LEGO League workshops for more than 75 students at Maywood Hills Elementary, teaching them to build, code, and iterate. Our goal is to turn those workshops into an official FLL team that our members mentor.
Mentoring New Teams
We are mentoring North Creek High School through their 2026-2027 rookie season, sponsoring their off-season events, helping them structure the team, connecting them to the FRC community, and supporting their grant and sponsorship applications.
NSD Ladder Initiative
With the other Northshore School District teams we built the NSD Ladder, a path that makes FIRST accessible from kindergarten through twelfth grade at every school in the district. We have advocated for it with the Superintendent and the School Board.
Unified Robotics
We applied for Bothell High School to become a Unified Championship school so we can start a Unified Robotics program in fall 2026, mentoring students in our special education program as they design, build, and program their own robot.
North End Practice Field
We collaborated with eight teams around the Seattle area to build the North End Practice Field, where teams test robots and hold scrimmages. This year we expect 49 teams from Washington and Canada to use it.
Beyond Bothell
We partnered with the Joy of Reading non-profit to help build school libraries in under-resourced areas of India, and we present at city events, science fairs, senior centers, and Rotary clubs across the region.
The Future
We continue to look for ways to help the community, as we believe that other people can benefit from the skills and knowledge we have gained through our own experiences.
Where the Money Goes
Washington teams lost the $11,000 OSPI grant that paid our rookie-year registration fees. We spent the summer making up the shortfall, and ended the season with enough in reserve to register for the next one.
