Wednesday, April 10 – Judo-Bots!
4:00-4:45 p.m.
Smyrna Library, Meeting Room
ages: 7-12 years old PLUS parent/grandparent/caregiver
RSVP – registration required
Event Description: Let’s get ready to rumble! Participants learn about the engineering process, fluid power and simple machines as they build and perfect remote-controlled bots that use hydraulic cylinders to move up, down and side-to-side. The goal is to tip opponents over or push them out of the ring to win a Judo-Bot competition. In the process, participants learn from their mistakes and experiment with alternative solutions.
Tinker Lab offers hands-on building activities for kids and adults working together. The library's goal for Tinker Lab is to provide an opportunity for an adult and a child to learn together and work collaboratively to solve a problem or create something new. Tinker Lab is not a drop-in program for all ages. It is designed to be a one-to-one learning experience for elementary-age children and their parent/caregiver. The activities are too complex for younger children.
Reminders:
- Please no daycare groups.
- Please do not bring younger siblings.
- Please arrive on time. Tinker Lab is not a drop-in activity.
