On Saturday, April 14 The Works Museum will host their annual Robot Day family event, filling the Museum top to bottom with hands-on robotics activities. Kids and families can explore the Museum together, learning about robotics first-hand through demonstrations and interactive experiences.
At Robot Day, kids will also see robotics used in industry and meet middle and high school student robotics teams showcasing their competition robots. The University of Minnesota is returning with the fan-favorite humanoid NAO robots. Visitors will observe their many tricks, including playing ball and doing tai chi! Families can also experience drones, claw robots, prosthetics demos, and more.
“Robot Day is a great opportunity to introduce a child to the field of robotics,” says Kit Wilhite, Director of Education. “Our partners take advanced robotics work and make it accessible for kids. Experiencing the variety of robotics and having conversations with these professionals can spark a lifelong love of engineering in a child.”
