Summer Robotics Workshop

Have you successfully protected an eggstronaut from a painful Mars landing, using only straws and tape?  Do you know how to properly use an atlatl?  Can you build a successful robot out of limited materials in only five afternoons?

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!
