LASER 3284

---

Camdenton LASER (Lake Area Science, Engineering, and Robotics) 3284 is a FIRST® Robotics team from the rural town of Camdenton, Missouri. After founding the FRC® progression in Camdenton, LASER and the Camdenton School District added the FLL®, & FTC® progressions.
LASER annually hosts official FIRST events such as Championships, Qualifiers, Expos, Meets, and off season meets. In 2019, LASER started the #WalkLikeWoodie social media movement to honor the legacy of Dr. Woodie Flowers.
At the beginning of the pandemic, LASER saw the need for PPE in our community and beyond. Using donated materials and 3-D printers, 3284 assembled over 3.5k face shields which were donated to hospitals and military medics in Afghanistan.
​Through Gracious Professionalism and extensive outreach, LASER continues to promote the message of FIRST on a local, state, national, and international, level.

The LASER 3284 logo is more than just a brand; it is a visual representation of our identity as both an organization and a family. For many, FIRST® Robotics is a 'home away from home,' a sanctuary where everyone is accepted regardless of race, gender identity, religion, or ability. We embody this inclusivity through our three core pillars: Impact, Build, and Programming.
These pillars form an orange triangle, representing our team's deep-rooted culture of safety. Accented with green to reflect our commitment to team sustainability, the entire structure stands upon a solid purple foundation. A foundation that honors our roots as Camdenton Lakers in Camdenton, Missouri, grounding our forward-thinking innovation in the community that raised us.

FIRST® understands that culture shapes our beliefs on people based on age, gender, race, language, (dis)ability, or income level. LASER 3284 is 100% FIRST Inclusion Training Certified, to expand the team's awareness of invisible inequities and inspire success.

To ensure safety everywhere LASER team members go, 3284 has become OSHA 10 General Industry Certified as of the 2023 school term. Through this certification students have learned basic and advanced safety and health practices.

LASER is also 100% CPR and First Aid Certified to continue to foster a safe environment among the team. Students go through a 2 hour long course to learn the proper ways to perform CPR, use an AED, and other important First Aid practices.
