Here is an upcoming event for this Friday at Sun's Burlington, MA Campus.  Come learn more about FIRST, the FIRST Robotics Competition, Java + FIRST, and FIRST @ Sun.

This Friday, for Sun employees, we will have one or two FRC teams visiting the Burlington campus. They will show off their robots  - and you can learn about what FRC means to them, and about mentoring and volunteer opportunities that exist. Hear about Java on the FRC robots, and see one of the robots! 

Hear about how you can get involved and help.  Stop by the cafeteria at noon to learn more!  And have fun!

Sebastian led a cool project in CA during Sun's Worldwide Volunteer Week.  His team helped to fix up bikes for a bike exchange program.  Here is a picture of the group.  Under sunny skies, the team worked on bikes to help children and adults go green and ride bikes rather than cars, reducing emissions.  Great job team!

Sun employees in Texas did a cool, unique project.  Led by Leslie Keller, the team created and planted a garden at the local food bank.  How cool is that?  Not only will the garden provide food and beauty but it will also be used for education.  Although the garden is already producing herbs right now, check back in two months and there will be a bountiful harvest starting!
