Nemesis Navigator: Organizing Community Events

   To make and organize a community event as a robotics team is simple. But it isn’t easy. To organize an event in your community, you need to find a venue, define the objectives, promote the event, and staff the event.

   Firstly, you have to find a venue for your event. The ideal event location should accommodate the number of people expected to attend. Some good example locations might be a school gymnasium, community center, or a conference room at your local library.

   Secondly, you need to define the objective of the event. You need to decide the purpose of the event. From showcasing the robot, raising funds for the team, etc. After deciding the purpose, it will be easier to plan the event and decide what activities you should have during the event.

   Third, you need to promote the event you are hosting. If people don’t know about the event, they won’t come to it. Some ways to promote the event is by creating online posters, social media posts, and flyers. You can also ask your local media to cover the event (media can include newspapers or ways that reach the community).

   Lastly, you need to staff the event. You need to have enough volunteers to oversee the activities and assist attendees and the organizers/hosts of the vent. You should make sure that the volunteers are knowledgeable about the team (and its activities). This way, the volunteers can answer any questions posed by attendees.

   In the end, hosting events is easy if you follow the steps in this article and plan the event well. When an event is planned well, it makes the event itself go well.
