 ROBOTICON | STEAM Powered Sport for the Mind  🙂

We’re hosting our 10th annual youth STEM showcase, as a monthlong Manufacturing Month event, this year expanded to include light weight combat robotics and aerial drone competition.  It’s no longer exclusively a FIRST event.  Our goal has always been to grow ROBOTICON into a full-scale robotics expo for all ages, which I think we’re achieving with this year’s event.

Anyone interested in volunteering can sign up here:  Volunteer | ROBOTICON

Perhaps IEEE and IEEE/RAS can share our event around, too.  We’ll also have an Innovation Expo each weekend, with exhibitors, presentations and workshops and special industry tour.  If IEEE/RAS would like to have a presence, we’re happy to have you.  If you know of companies or organizations interested in sponsoring, they can learn more here:  Sponsor | ROBOTICON .
