growingSTEMS is shaping up for a spectacular showing at the Pax River Air Show. Due to the scale of activities that we anticipate having on site, we are looking to purchase a large tent for this event (and likely future events). We are looking for a tent that is around 20x40 feet (though we could also use a 20x20 tent). If you or someone you know is looking to sell a tent of that size, please reach out to us. You can respond via social media or send a message to [email protected].

We have had a busy day preparing for our open house tomorrow.

VexIQ will have this year's game field set up with example robots to show off.

We have stations for both summer camps with interactive demos to try out the robots.

FRC will be showing off their off-season robot and their competition robot.

Team Honey Cracked plans to have the plants running for visitors to drive and will be showing off the 3lb, 12lb and 30lb robots that will be competing next weekend.

Come check out everything we have to offer!

growingSTEMS will be having our open house on May 31st from 12:30pm - 5pm.

This is a great opportunity to see what robotics programs we have to offer and how you can get involved.

We are not only open to new students, we are always looking for more volunteers to help spread STEM in our community.

We will have robot demos and robots of all sorts that you can come in and actually drive!

All of our teams here at growingSTEMS love sharing robotics with our community.
