SUMMARY:Cadette & Senior Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Earn all 3 Robotics badges in this full day workshop! Girl Scout Cadettes and Seniors will learn about robots\, use software to program a robot\, build a prototype using easily accessible materials\, and showcase their creations to fellow Scouts for feedback. Cadettes will also build circuits while Seniors build a hydraulic arm.\n\nAdditional Information:\n\nSpace in the classroom is limited\, so we can only allow 1 adult in the classroom per group. That adult must be in the classroom at all times.\nReduced admission can be purchased (day of the workshop) for any scouts or family members who would like to visit the exhibits outside of the workshop.\nBadges are not included. They must be purchased from your organization.\nThis workshop will be a combined event with Senior and Cadette Girl Scouts.

DESCRIPTION:Da Vinci Day is the BIT Center’s annual STEM and arts festival for middle and high school students. The event brings together schools\, educators\, community organizations\, local businesses\, and families for a day of hands-on learning inspired by the life and work of Leonardo da Vinci. Students participate in workshops\, engineering and design challenges\, interactive exhibits\, and presentations from professionals working in STEM\, the arts\, and related fields.\n\nThe centerpiece of the event is an interscholastic competition\, where student teams work together to solve a design challenge and present their solutions to a panel of professional judges. Teams will assemble the famous Da Vinci bridge out of wood. The winning team’s school receives a $1\,000 grant to support its STEM\, arts\, or innovation programs\, helping bring new opportunities back to the students.\n\nThroughout the day\, vendors and community partners host activities\, share resources\, and introduce students to educational and career opportunities. By connecting students with professionals and organizations from across the region\, Da Vinci Day encourages curiosity\, creativity\, and collaboration while celebrating the lasting influence of Leonardo da Vinci and the connections between science\, technology\, engineering\, art\, and Italian culture.
