Stem Library Workshops

This summer and fall, we are continuing to partner with the San Mateo County Libraries to host free STEM workshops. These workshops are catered to kids ages 5-13 who are interested in STEM or looking to try something new! We offer a range of activities that are adaptable to all skill levels covering programming, electronic circuits, and collaboration skills. Below is a calendar of our library workshops for this summer.

San Mateo County fair

At the San Mateo County Fair, our robotics team showcased our robots Pain d’Epi and Roti in 2023 and 2024 throughout the two weekends the event is held. Fair-goers of all different ages and backgrounds were introduced to what FRC is and got to experience robotics, first-hand. To engage younger children, we also brought in programmable Mbots that they could control.
