Primary EVENTS
Due to the importance of these events to our outreach program, all team members are required to participate in these outreach events. These events are generally focused on the team promotion of increasing awareness of STEM and providing STEM opportunities for students in elementary school through high school.
Women in STEM Conference
The Gongoliers host an annual Women in STEM Conference on February 15th at Ponaganset Middle School . The purpose of this outreach event is to inspire young women to explore career opportunities in STEM fields. Statistics from the exit survey provided at this year’s event showed that a large percentage of girls who attended are more interested in STEM!
FLL Kickoff
The Gongoliers hold an annual FLL Kickoff event at our high school. We guide the teams through their Robot Game for the year, Core Values, and Innovation Project, and found that all participants enjoyed the team building experience and were looking forward to possibly moving up to an FTC or FRC team in the future.
Northern Rhode Island FLL Event Hosted by FRC Team 5112
The Gongoliers had the pleasure of hosting a First Lego League (FLL) qualifier event. 12 FLL teams from across Rhode Island participated in the event hosted at Ponaganset High School. Every member of our team volunteered to set up and run this event smoothly.

Cross Country Volunteering
Members of the team participate in non STEM related events such as cross country events. During this we help set up the cross country event, and help run the event overall.
