- Hosted week-long "Legos, Slime and Other Things" camp for elementary and middle school kids from the area. More than 25 participants enjoyed hands-on science activities (some disguised as a whole lot of FUN!)
- Hosted a jam-packed robotics workshop for more than 100 robotics geeks from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana. Topics included programming, strategy, animation, communication and team-building.
- Family campout - even though it was VERY hot 30 or so parents and kids enjoyed boating, swimming, campfire, charades.
- Weekly work sessions at the shop - clean up is slow and tiring, but we're working hard at organizing (though it looks more like disorganizing most of the time) the shop to be a more efficient workspace during build season.
We still have several "play dates" coming up:
- August 11 - MontgomeryFest
- August 16 - Winnebago County Fair, Moss Hall from 2pm - 3pm
- Sept 1 - On the Waterfront Robot from 12pm - 4pm
