In this hands-on STEM activity, students will receive their own robot kit and work with instructors to build a functioning robot step by step. No experience is needed! Our team will guide participants through the process while introducing basic engineering concepts, problem-solving skills, and how motors and simple machines work together to bring a robot to life. Once the robots are built, it’s time for the fun part, the races! Students will test their creations on the track and compete in friendly robot races with their classmates. This activity encourages creativity, teamwork, and curiosity while giving students a fund introduction to engineering and robotics. Best of all, each participant will take their complete robot home at the end of the session so the learning and fun can continue.
