USAGSO STEMinist Sparks & Speed: In Person Automotive Robotic Adventures

Ready, set, GO! Girl Scouts in the Middle East, join STEMinist host Erin Twamley for a day of designing, building and programming robots with a special automotive twist! It’s time to get curious, ask questions and problem-solve... in person!

In this 4-hour in-person STEMinist event, you’ll explore the world of robots, dive into the science of speed, and harness the power of the sun. Discover how both robots and cars move (and stop!), what makes them zoom faster, and how energy powers the future.

You’ll get to:

🤖 Design and build your own robot to take home
🚗 Manufacture and race your own balloon-powered car
👩🏾‍🔬 Meet STEM Superheroes from the NYU Robotics Department and take an exclusive tour of their robotics lab
🔧 Design and test a LEGO® race car
☀️ Build and paint, a take-home solar-powered car
🍪 Enjoy a delicious STEM-inspired snack

Every participant will receive the STEMinist fun patch, robotics rocker, and automotive rocker, a snack, a make-and-take solar-powered car and robot, and access to our virtual STEMinist series for the membership year—all for just $35.

Come join the race toward a brighter, greener future!
