On September 4 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Hello Mazda of San Diego is hosting a test drive event at James Madison High School as part of its Be Moved Drive Program. This program is designed to deliver substantial donations to individual schools and their unique programs through dealer-hosted test-drive events. The San Diego community ages 18+ with a valid US driver’s license are invited to ride and drive a Mazda vehicle to earn a $50 donation for James Madison High School - up to $10,000! The funds will benefit the school’s Automotive Technology Program, helping students discover what inspires them so they can do more of what moves them. Education plays a crucial role in empowering students, and this program is one way Mazda is investing in students and uplifting the community. James Madison High School focuses on preparing students for a specific trade or occupation. The students in this pathway can apply and extend concepts studied in their math and science classes to the automotive technology industry in the school’s state of the art eight bay automotive shop. The Mazda Be Moved funding will help pay stipends for student internships with their local dealers. They will also use the funds to purchase shop shirts and a series of patches for each certification that students can earn. Walk-ups are welcome, register on site during the event. James Madison HS is located at 4833 Doliva Dr, San Diego, CA 92117.

As part of our team's community outreach, we organize and host an annual Girls Inspiring Real Leadership In STEAM (G.I.R.L.S.) Conference. We have the opportunity to invite students from 6th-12th grades to listen to selected inspirational speakers from STEAM careers and leadership backgrounds that could form a lasting impact on the young students in our community. Our goal is to inspire and equip students from 6th to 12th grade to become tomorrow's leaders while fostering an interest in STEAM education. It is not limited to girls attending; everyone is welcome to come. Though we are still encouraging girls in STEAM. This year, the theme of our conference is “Taking the Helm”. Our event is divided into two segments. The first segment consists of speaker presentations that each last for about ten minutes. The second segment will be our “Speed Networking” event, where we present students with the opportunity to talk to college students and other professionals in STEAM careers and education. This year, our event will be hosted at Eastlake Middle School and is planned for Saturday, September 20, 2025. Our networking event will begin at 12 p.m. and will conclude around 1:30 p.m. The entire conference is planned to end at around 2 p.m. FRC Team 2543 TitanBot on Instagram
