Purple Pathway
Our Outreach Initiative
Purple Pathway is Kalipso's outreach initiative. The name embodies the goal of the initiative, which is not only a pathway for aspiring learners to grow and start their journey in STEM, robotics, and FIRST, but also our team's pathway in educating our community and the public!
​
Throughout the pathway we partnered with several organizations and started many projects. Read below for more details!
Kalipso STEM Kits
Our STEM kits are designed for young kids in underserved communities, who aspire to be involved in STEM and robotics. A maze of wire that kids must get a ring through, the kit beeps and lights up when the ring touches the wire. These kits aim to teach students about basic circuitry and electricity.
​
We partnered with KidsSpire to send these kits to their orphanages across the world, where kids were delighted to challenge each other and play with the kits.
Maker Viet - International Global Gears Initiative
Created the initiative Global Gears dedicated to collecting and constructing FTC starter kits for rookie teams in Vietnam.
Collected 1,407 parts from teams across all of NorCal.

Kalipso Workshops
We partnered with FPT (Financing and Promoting Technology), one of the largest tech companies in Vietnam, which started Vietnam's very first FTC season. We hosted several workshop sessions for Vietnam's rookie FTC teams.
