Battlin’Bots over School Winter Break for Members (guests allowed). RSVP

Battlin'Bots is a real engineering activity, building "problem solving" and critical thinking skills. It is popular with students in grades 4-8 but suitable for high school level as well.  

Build “Battlin’Bots" using motors, wood, metal, and found materials. Work in teams of two to brainstorm a design, solve problems, hook up power, and remote control your bot in a safety-shielded arena. When bots are ready, they can battle each other, two at a time. Repair your bot and battle again and again. SIGN UP for any or all workshops.
