Attention middle school parents,
Google is sponsoring a 2-day introductory robotics workshop for kids on the weekend of September 16-17, 2023 at The Dalles, OR. This workshop is for any middle school student in grades 6-8 who is interested in robotics and learning more about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Openings fill up quickly so register soon to reserve your spot!
This is best suited to any student in grades 6-8 who is a beginner or has limited experience with robotics.
The focus of these workshops is to give kids a chance to experience STEM and work with a group to build a robot over the course of the 2-day weekend in a fun and inclusive environment. Robotics instructors will support students through the robot building process, with everyone having a chance to have a friendly competition with their robots on day 2. Google will provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, all robotics supplies, and a full two days of inspiration and STEM curriculum.
Check out this video of a similar workshop from 2022 that was focused on girls in STEM.
