Robot Fest 2010

Saturday, April 24, 10am-3pm
Free Admission

Robot Fest is a free, one-day annual event that promotes creativity, technology, engineering and the sciences. RobotFest is for students of all ages and for those with the unquenchable urge to create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics and mechanical parts of metal and plastic.

In the early years we focused on the demonstration of robotic projects, but more recently we have expanded into realms where technology is used in any creative fashion. We welcome the hackers, hobbyists, and makers, and those who are not content to sit back and watch yet another screen, be it on a phone, handheld, laptop, desktop or TV. If you are inexplicably drawn to sites like makezine.com, hackaday.com and instructables.com, we want you. See something new. Ask questions. Awaken your creative instinct.
