Community Outreach: Robotics Workshops
In the past, we've hosted one workshop per year, available to students grades six through eight. Each workshop focused on a group of approximately thirty kids, who enjoyed a variety of challenges that build their computational thinking abilities and their ability to use FTC Tetrix systems.

This year's 101-102 series reinvents last year's workshops. In our 101 session in November, students tested the limits of their imaginations, building FTC chassis and crafting wacky, cup-grabbing "robotic" arms. Check back soon for pictures from the event!

Unfortunately, we couldn't host a 102 and 103 workshop this semester due to scheduling issues. Post-comp, we plan to unveil a 001-003 series that is aimed towards younger kids, about 2nd through 5th grades.
