The Morris Museum is partnering with Garden State Robotics to present the world of robotics competitions. Different from the cut-throat battle shows you may have seen on TV, middle and high school aged children around the world are applying their skills in science, mathematics, technology, and engineering to design, build, and program robots that compete in new game challenges every season. At this event, expect to view an actual local competition, get involved in robot driving demos, sign up for classes to learn how robots are made, and find out just how easy it is to get involved in the sport of robotics.
