TeenTober Tech


Hello Teens!

This Monday saw a great program for TeenTober! We were honored to host the robotics team R U Serious as well as their array of technology. The event started off with a brief introduction to the types of programs the team would be using in order to build their robot. They also showed us what goals they would be programming their robot to meet in order to win their upcoming competition. After a small demo, the team showed off their 3D printer and explained its workings.

There were also some examples of circuitry set up throughout the room. There were a few Makey Makey kits (set up to play piano using PlayDoh) as well as an energy stick that was activated even through a group of 11 people (to create the human circuit)!

As seen in the picture above, the event concluded with the teens getting the chance to code some bots of their own! The team produced a pair of Ozobots for this opportunity. After a brief discussion, the teens had the chance to code their own track for the bots to run. I'm not going to lie; it was awesome!

Don't forget: the next program (for both Middle Graders and Teens) will be October 21st. Come join in for our Pizza Taste-Off to determine which pizza restaurant has the best in Brandon!

See you soon!
