Join Whitaker Center for workshops designed for girls in 3rd - 8th grade, with activities that connect with real-world applications of STEAM through design, programming, coding, engineering, and more!
Each session introduces a new robotics concept through hands-on exploration and creative problem-solving. Students will dive into the world of robotics by building and programming robots using LEGO® Education SPIKE™, where imagination meets engineering. Unless otherwise noted, LEGO SPIKE will be the primary platform used. Whether students are new to robotics or ready to level up, each workshop offers a fresh opportunity to build, code, and innovate.
