If so, you must have attended last year's Summer Robotics Workshop. Along with other local FIRST teams, we host this workshop every year. For us, it's a way to reach out to the community to promote science, technology, engineering, and math; for students who attend, it's a week of fun and a great introduction to robotics.
The first five days of the workshop are packed with fun activities (which just happen to be educational) and hands-on robot building. Students are divided into teams of six and must collaboratively build a robot to complete a challenge; on Saturday, their designs are tested in an action-packed competition similar to those PHI competes in.
This year, the workshop runs June 24-29, and if you're a student entering fifth through ninth grade, you won't want to miss it. Only sixty spots are available, so sign up now!
