Events

At the National Robotics Challenge we believe that engineering is not just about taking the same parts as someone else and changing how they are put together. Engineering is about finding the materials and equipment that is best for the problem you are given.

Tours and demonstrations of current research at Georgia Tech. Two sessions are offered: Morning and/or Afternoon.

Join us in the Kloiber Foundation STEAM Lab as we explore Ozobots with some fun spring activities. Participants are welcome to drop-in anytime between 3:30-5:30 pm and stay as a little or as long as you would like! For grades 3-12

Come see some of the award-winning FTC Robots showing off what students made this season. Visit the library between 6-7 to meet some of the FTC Power Robotics crew.

Learn to program a robot, and teach it to do tricks! Our fully articulated robot dogs will obey your every command.

Learn about new and current space missions! Brought to you by NASA Solar System Ambassadors and Southcentral Alaska Astronomical Society members, NASA Space Update is a monthly program series that combines engaging presentations on space missions with a custom star show. After the program, stay for a Q&A session and discover new astronomy resources and free space goodies. New space topics each month, for you to get caught up with all of your space updates.

The Botball® Educational Robotics Program engages middle and high school aged students in a team-oriented robotics competition, and serves as a perfect way to meet today’s new common core standards.

Starting in the 2021-22 school year, students all across West Virginia will have the opportunity to select Robotics as a recognized co-curricular activity by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission. This new classification enables recognition and parity for robotics programs to thousands of students. WVSSAC Robotics teams will play a modified version of the VEX Robotics Competition game, with changes made only to the eligibility rules and tournament structure. This format will enable high schools with existing VRC teams to add WVSSAC robotics without needing to purcase any additional parts or equipment.

Join us for a celebration of STEM and Robotics at STEM Saturday hosted by INNOVATE Albion and Kellogg Community College. Get hands-on with activity stations focused on STEM and Robotics. You'll also get to see up close an FTC and FRC competition robot and meet the people who designed, built, coded, and operate the robots.

Come celebrate National Robotics Week by learning how to make your very first robot. This workshop is intended for people with little-to-no prior experience. Get a crash course in fundamentals of robotics while learning how to build a fun skitter robot from the book Homemade Robots. On Scrubot: Do not be fooled. Scrub Bot was not the simple sort of bot that materializes overnight when Randy zip tied a bunch of scrub brushes together. No! There was an ineffable cosmic plan that led up to this bot's creation, going back well beyond the day when man, through genetic mutation, first evolved the ability to manufacture zip ties and scrub brushes. This bot is a bona fide cosmic child. The instructor: Randy Sarafan is the author of the books "Homemade Robots" and "62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer." He has worked for Instructables.com for well over a decade and has posted hundreds of tutorials online in a wide range of subjects. N95 masks required for this workshop. As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found at www.nycresistor.com/participate/. Please note that refunds must be requested 72 hours in advance. If you have any questions, please email classes@nycresistor.com

We will be hosting a Robofest competition.

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Rolling Robots Open House - Celebrate with our 2023 VEX Robotics Competition California State Champion and National Champion Team! Hands-on experience of what Rolling Robots' members are making - from LEGO to VEX robots. Learn about what you can do this summer to get on the path to tech genius at Rolling Robots!

Come learn real-world robotics. In this Intro class, you will work with a humanoid, hexapod or rover robot. Each has advanced capabilities like object tracking, speech recognition, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. You will learn to program new behaviors for your robot including how to walk, dance, talk, see, hear and interact with its surroundings.

Design Day is an opportunity to share our Senior Design Showcase with the public. Seniors work in groups with faculty to design and test projects. We will also be hosting competitions for ME 1000, ME 1010, and Mechatronics.
