Robotics Mini-Camp for Kids Tuesday August 6
Silver City, Nevada - An Engineering/Robotics Mini-Camp for kids ages 8-14 and their parents takes place on Tuesday, August 6 from 10am – noon at the Silver City School House (community center) at 385 High Street, Silver City, Nevada 89428. The free, annual event is led by the Society of Women Engineers and FIRST Nevada.
Kids will compete in an exciting SumoBot competition after they write a program to make their robots go forward and back and drive in a square. Then they'll build a robot "arm" and form teams to compete with their SumoBots!
This event is one of a series of STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) events sponsored in partnership with Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey Counties each summer in Silver City.
Where is Silver City? Events like these are opportunities to discover Silver City, one of the hidden gems of the Comstock.
