Stamford Robotics

Our 5th Annual Stamford Robotics Expo was held in 2012 on February 12th!  It's in the books.  Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a great success.  And special thanks to all the kids who participated and did the hard work to learn about food safety and design and build cool Lego models.

Our event was covered on News Channel 12 (hope you saw it!), and was also covered in the Stamford Advocate (you can read that story here)

Our reviewers very much enjoyed talking to the teams and discovering and recognizing their unique strengths. We also enjoyed the opportunity to see the "big kids" with their cool FLL robots.

We enjoyed the opportunity to share our signature expo event activity.  In fact, our activity was so well received that it will be reused for a Jr. FLL exhibition event to coincide with the upcoming FIRST robotics CT tournament in Harford where it will be run by FIRST team volunteers.  We hope the participants all had a great time celebrating their end of season with our Snack Attack activities.

We'd like to thank our keynote speaker, Raj Cholleti for his fun opening remarks.  We would also like to thank our award presenters, Chris Tasik, Ellyn Savard, and Curtis Battles.  We thank them for recognizing the teams and for the work they have done and are doing to continue to build these programs for Stamford and Connecticut.

Special Visitors

In addition to those already mentioned we would like to once again thank Senator Richard Blumenthal for making time in his busy schedule to share some words of inspiration during our opening ceremony.

Stamford Robotics Club and Volunteers

Many volunteers of all ages helped make this event possible. Whether serving as reviewers, event activity volunteers, team coaches or mentors, or just helping out the day of the activity - this event would not be possible without their support.

We'd like to especially highlight the Stamford Robotics club formed at Stamford High School by Dawn Winsor. We thank them for mentoring teams, helping design our activity and of course helping in so many way on the day of the event?

What's Next?
