Hands-On Robotics Sessions

Find family robotics sessions that turn engineering concepts into practical builds, experiments, and shared problem-solving.

Hands-On Robotics Sessions

Families learn robotics by building and testing projects together, with activities suited to different ages and experience levels.


Family Build Sessions

Build a robotics project as a family, following clear steps to assemble components and explore how they work together. Each session gives participants time to make, test, and adjust their creation. Families can ask questions as they go and learn practical concepts through the project, rather than relying on demonstrations alone.


Robotics Foundations

Get familiar with the building blocks of robotics through structured, hands-on activities. Participants explore how a robot can sense its surroundings, respond to instructions, and move. Projects introduce concepts at a practical pace, giving families a chance to connect each idea to something they can see and test.


Creative Robot Projects

Start with a project idea and work through the choices that shape a robot’s design. Families assemble a model, try it out, and make adjustments based on what happens. This activity encourages thoughtful problem-solving while showing how design decisions affect a robot’s behavior and performance.


Collaborative Challenges

Take on a defined robotics challenge as a family team. Plan an approach, build or adapt a solution, then test it against the task. The process helps participants practice clear communication and systematic troubleshooting. Families can compare results, identify changes to try, and learn from each iteration.
