# 2022-2023 Impact Submission

In the 2022-2023 season, YETI Robotics continued rebuilding and expanding its impact throughout Charlotte and beyond following the pandemic. The team grew to a record 60 students while maintaining a welcoming, student-led culture with 68% minority and 28% female participation. YETI strengthened STEM education by mentoring and supporting FIRST teams, expanding its pipeline to 41 FIRST teams since its founding, and launching free robotics programs for underserved communities through organizations such as PROJECT 658, the Girl Scouts Hornets Nest Council, and Title I summer camps that reached over 200 students. The team also continued serving the community through initiatives like Roof Above, the Fill Em Up school supply drive, and the Tuckaseegee Recreation Center Bookbag Drive. Beyond North Carolina, YETI shared resources through Open Alliance, YETI Tips, Chief Delphi, GitHub, Discord, and international mentoring efforts in India, inspiring FIRST teams and students around the world.
