Robots Rock
Did you catch us at The Discovery on April 27 for Robots Rock, part of the Northern Nevada Science and Technology Festival? We chatted with about 200 attendees who visited our tables to make binary bracelets for a "coding unplugged" activity and interact with a Mindstorm EV3 EL3CTRIC GUITAR and Spike Prime robot. 

If you missed this exciting event, you can explore our collection of more than 100 STEAM spark sheets for details on how to make your own binary bracelet, plus lots more STEAM activities!
 
Plan to attend one of our robotics programs. LEGO Robotics Club is offered at the Spanish Springs Library on Tuesdays from 4-6 pm and at the Incline Village Library on Monday, July 18 and Tuesday, July 19 from 1-3 pm. Registration for these programs is required. You can access online registration through our calendar of events.
