Robo Task Force is an after-school robotics club that offers transactive experiences for 3rd through 7th graders. Join other participants in exploring construction, materials development, electronics principles and robotic systems and design. Returning students can continue to work on projects from previous semesters while participating in these and other activities:

• Increase your understanding about what makes a robot a robot, and how they sense, respond and act. Navigate a robot through a path on a rescue mission. Dress up a robot and program it to move in harmony with other  dancing robots.
•  Explore mechanical engineering. Use your ideas and build “gizmos” and “thingamajigs” while learning how simple machines and basic systems work. Add a motor and take home your creation. Investigate electronic systems and sensors with various technologies including microcontrollers and/or Pico Crickets™.
•  Discover artificial intelligence using LEGO® Mindstorms™: Design, program and test LEGO® robots to make intelligent decisions as you problem solve Robotics Invention System™ tasks, and more.
•  Design a space vehicle like a Mars rover robot or an asteroid mining robot out of your recycled toys and electronics
