All Abilities Robotics Lab
with Scott Phillips
Build. Code. Create.
The All Abilities Robotics Lab brings participants together to explore engineering and programming challenges using LEGO® Spike Essentials robotics kits. Participants work in teams of two to build LEGO robots, program their movements, and put them to the test in hands-on challenges that blend creativity, problem-solving, and STEM skills.
Each session is designed to be welcoming, flexible, and fun – built for participants who may not have had the opportunity to experience hands-on STEM programs in the past. No prior experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity.
Participants who require personal care assistance should attend with their caregiver or support person.
Registration is required. Space is limited. This workshop is free.
