In this interactive robotics program led by local robotics team The Newton Busters, students will learn how robots are designed, built, and programmed. Participants will see a demonstration of a FIRST Tech Challenge competition robot and learn how it works. They will then explore beginner robotics programming using LEGO SPIKE robots. The program will also introduce students to youth robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO League and show how robotics teams design solutions to real-world problems.
