Staying in Touch with Our Community

As an organization, Sierra Lobo is community-outreach oriented.  We believe that being a good corporate citizen means using our human and financial resources to give back to society and our immediate communities.  Sierra Lobo supports multiple initiatives and charitable programs through employee efforts and volunteerism.  We particularly enjoy supporting and furthering the talent found in our community members and education system.  We collaborate and team with many schools and related educational programs to ensure our youth are educated in scientific principles and have fun learning about science.  This enthusiasm involving the commitment of time and effort from our employees cannot be fabricated – and we hope it is contagious. 

Mavericks Robotics Team

In April 2010, the EHOVE team that Sierra Lobo (Milan, Ohio) sponsored and supported won the first Buckeye Regional Robotics Competition held at the Wolstein Center of Cleveland State University (Cleveland, Ohio).  The team competed against over sixty teams from seven different states.  As a result of their win and achievement, the EHOVE team was invited to the national competition in Atlanta, GA. 

Mr. Alex Yeckley, Senior Electro-Mechanical Engineer at Sierra Lobo, has worked on this program with the EHOVE youth for the last six years.   Mr. Yeckley provided great direction and support to the Robotics team.  As a result of his leadership, the EHOVE event has grown substantially.  

Sierra Lobo’s team on the TFOME contract at NASA Glenn Research Center also provides major support at the event by providing a machine/repair shop on wheels for all the teams that go to the event.

Working with Our Communities

This is the type of excitement that gets our youth motivated in math and science!
