1) RAS MEETING–TBA 2025
2) ROBOFEST 2025-Details
Robofest competition will be on March 29 at the Countryside Recreation Center. Robofest is an international robotics competition from Lawerence Technological University that allows students to create autonomous robots while having fun and learning STEM principles. The local event is being run by Amber Priester from the Clearwater Library, but I am helping her find volunteers.
Please select the Clearwater, FL location. The address is 2640 Sabal Springs Dr, Clearwater, FL 33761 which is the Countryside Recreation Center. I would greatly appreciate it if you could sign up as soon as possible so that I know how many volunteers I still need to find.
Thank you very much for volunteering! If you have any questions or know of anyone else who would be willing to volunteer, please let me (or Ms. Amber) know.
Respectfully,
Bianca Gittinger-Linzer
