Thursday Nights on the Square Yes 93% Do you think that after completing this workshop that you will engage in more With my expertise in robotics, I am able to conduct math or science? workshops using the LEGO platform inspiring and engaging students and educators in STEM. Through these workshops participants are able to learn and Maybe apply the basic principles of engineering. 29% Data/Evidence Yes No 71% 0% Before and after each workshop the participants take a TNOTS is a community event that happens every survey that will allow us to see how the workshop Thursday during the summer where community impacts them in the fields of STEM and the various members can come and take part in summer festivities What job/career would you like to have robotics platforms as well as how the workshop may Public in the park.
