We had a wonderful turnout with our wiggle bot workshops. Thank you so much for everyone that joined us in building their very own robot!

The children worked so hard into learning how to get them to work properly, the trial and error is what gets these kids thinking on how or what they can do better to get them running.

Watching everyone build their bots was so fun! can’t wait to see you at the next workshop ❤️
