STEM and Robotics Fun Day

As part of the FIRST LEGO initiative, the event will feature the award-winning Tech Chicz, a Florence-based all-girl LEGO robotics team that has competed successfully in regional and state level competitions for the past two years. The team will discuss this year’s robotics challenge – Keeping Food Safe – where teams are asked to prevent food contamination using STEM principles. The event will also feature activities where attendees can build structures and test them on an earthquake simulation table and build a car, while learning about principles of inertia, friction and wind-resistance along the way. Event will be held at: Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology 1951 Pisgah Road Florence, SC
