Discover the magic of huge blue blocks and felt magna tiles. Kids can visit anytime between 11 am-2 pm to build and dream up giant creations all while learning about STEM education. Brought to you by Families First and the Appleseed Foundation.

Join NVIDIA for Robotics Office Hours, a weekly livestream designed to help developers, researchers, and enthusiasts accelerate their robotics journey. Each session highlights Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, powerful frameworks for robotics simulation, training, and reinforcement learning built on NVIDIA Omniverse. This week’s session will focus on Isaac Automator, a tool that enables quick deployment of Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab to public cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud.

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

As data-driven approaches become the predominant paradigm for robotics, the burden of scaling robot data becomes increasingly transparent. The standard recipe for data-driven robot learning requires teleoperated expert demonstrations on real robots, which are expensive to scale. In this talk, we propose to use world models as a means to pool a vast amount of data from diverse sources for robot learning. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom.

Get ready to build, code, and create at Coding Camp! Calling all 4th–6th graders—step into the exciting world of robotics and become a real-life robot engineer! Using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits, campers will: Build their own robots from scratch, Program robots to move, sense, and react, Solve challenges and bring their creations to life. Whether you’re new to coding or already a tech enthusiast, this hands-on camp is full of creativity, problem-solving, and fun. Learn to think like an engineer, experiment like a scientist, and code like a pro—all while making new friends and tackling cool challenges. Come explore the amazing world of robotics and coding, and watch your ideas come to life! STUDENTS MUST BRING THEIR CHROMEBOOK OR OTHER SIMILAR DEVICE!

Learn the basics of Sphero. Learn to roll, aim, control the LEDs, change heading, and detect collisions. Once you have the basics down, you can practice coding through simple, beginner friendly activities. Students will be introduced to coding and robotics using the iPad and Sphero robots.

Join us for STEAM Club Jr, little learners ages 3–6 become curious creators as they explore the wide world of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through playful, hands-on adventures! Each week brings a brand-new challenge—designing, building, experimenting, inventing, or imagining something completely new. With simple tools, open-ended materials, and lots of room to follow their ideas, children get to tinker, test, and discover how things work while expressing their creativity. It’s a joyful blend of learning and play that sparks big questions, builds confidence, and nurtures the problem-solvers and innovators of tomorrow!

Automated is teaming up with MassRobotics for a casual happy hour where the conversations are just as good as the company. Expect real conversations with the Automated team, robots up close, and a chance to connect with others shaping automation. For startups and industry professionals only.

Let's get the LEGOS out and BUILD something!! Come and join us on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays to create and build using LEGOS! Whatever you create will be on display until the next time we meet...and then we start AGAIN!
