Atherton (Makerspace) • SMCL

Join us for a hands-on exploration of robotics and the design thinking process! We will be learning how to interview, brainstorm, and make as we build solutions to real problems we find in the world around us. Participants will practice hands-on engineering and learn what it's like to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Walk away with your very own prototype and a newfound excitement for engineering! Program hosted by members of Gatorbotics, Castilleja High School 's competitive robotics team.
