Program Description

Event Details

Register children ages 8–13 for a fun, hands-on robotics adventure with WVSU Extension and VEX GO Robotics!
In this beginner-friendly program, participants will build and program a robot! Kids will bring their creations to life—navigating paths, solving challenges, and discovering real-world uses for robotics. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and creativity!

This free program is designed for children and their accompanying adult to explore the world of robots and coding together. Caregivers must remain and participate with their child; drop-offs are not permitted. Instruction begins at 2PM. If a registrant has not arrived within 5 minutes of the start time, their spot will be released to other patrons. Registration opens Nov. 1 @ 9am.
