Robotic Workshops at MCPL
Through our partnership with Montgomery County Public Libraries, we conducted multi-session free robotics courses at Germantown and Gaithersburg libraries, with sessions in spring, summer, and fall of 2024 and 2025. Using the mBot2, we showed students how to build, code, use RGB and ultrasonic sensors, and navigate mazes. There was an overwhelming response from the local community. Kids learned the basics of robotics and coding in a fun and hands-on way.

Future Workshops
Due to the high level of positive responses, our team decided to continue these workshops. We will be continuing them in a spring session in March of 2026, while there will be a summer session with dates to be decided. We plan to have a similar curriculum, but will potentially add CAD to the camps, using Onshape as the CAD-ing software.
We used mBot2 robots for the camps, which are demonstrated in the image to the side. They contain a metal and plastic base, wheels, and multiple sensors, which are perfect for learning or teaching applications.
