Events

In April, we combine Minecraft with Robotics, building physical art-bots and virtual Redstone machines. We tailor the tech to the student: Seniors (9-13) dive into logic scripting and physics, while our Junior Squad (6-8) utilizes specialized, icon-based software and tactile building kits—allowing them to master complex concepts without the frustration of heavy reading or typing.

STEM Storytime is our weekly themed story time for pre-K kids at the science center. Each week, we'll read a different book related to a STEAM concept and explorers will have the opportunity to complete an accompanying activity.

MassRobotics is hosting workshops for middle and high school students from April 6-10. Space is limited and classes must be registered in advance. Please contact STEM@MassRobotics.org to reserve a spot.

The Paper Merry-Go-Round Project is a hands-on craft that combines creativity, engineering, and decoration to make a miniature spinning carousel. Using paper cups as the base, participants construct a circular “platform” with a central pivot that allows the cups or seats to rotate like a real merry-go-round. The craft can be personalized with colors, patterns, and embellishments to mimic animals, fairground rides, or whimsical designs.

Connect, share, and grow—an evening to network with peers, chat with mentors, and build connections with others in the field. Join fellow women in robotics at Locus Robotics in Wilmington. We will have refreshments, introductions and networking!

The Spring Symposium Series is an annual set of meetings run in parallel at a common site. It is designed to bring colleagues together in an intimate forum while at the same time providing a significant gathering point for the AI community. The two-and-a-half-day format of the series allows participants to devote considerably more time to feedback and discussion than typical one-day workshops. It is an ideal venue for bringing together new communities in emerging fields.

Founded in May of 1990 in Bozeman, Montana by visionary collector George Keremedjiev, the American Computer & Robotics Museum inspires visitors of all ages to explore the past and imagine the future of the Information Age through thought-provoking exhibits, innovative storytelling, and the bold exchange of ideas.

SEE offers visitors of all ages the opportunity to enjoy fun, hands-on science exhibits and interactive demonstrations.

Wonder Lab introduces visitors of all ages into the world of coding and programming. This open learning environment uses playful elements to teach users the basics, as well as interactive stations to test out their knowledge and increase their confidence in coding.

Stop by the spectrUM Discovery Area on Level Two Tuesday through Saturday to explore a guided science activity.

Calling all young architects! Get inspired by building challenges or create a masterpiece of your very own during this drop-in, free-build time. LEGO® Club builders will have the opportunity to put their creations on display for the whole library to enjoy until the next session. For kids 5 to 12.

3D Printer available for public use. Staff can provide basic help finding free 3D files online and using Cura Ultimaker 3D printing software. Print jobs taking more than 3 hours should be taken to the MakerSpace at the downtown branch of Missoula Public Library.

Get started with Swift, the language used to create apps and programs for iOS and macOS. The program is self-paced and will introduce the language and get participants started with the Swift Playgrounds app. Perfect for 5-10-year-olds who can read and follow written instructions! Participants will understand more about coding, this class is your first leap into the vast and exciting world of programming.

We supply the bricks. Just bring a ton of imagination and get ready to build. The sky's the limit! For kids 6 and up.

Lego Club, for ages 5-11, meets the first Tuesday of every month at New Castle Public Library from 6:00-7:00pm. Come build themed Lego designs with family and friends!
