SUMMARY:Explore FIRST Robotics
DESCRIPTION:We\, a FTC robotics team solar storm (27019) and Chinese American Parent Association at Howard County (CAPA-HC)\, will host a FIRST robotics event at Elkridge Library\, to introduce FIRST robotics at three different levels\, including LEGO based First Lego League (FLL)\, First Tech Challenge (FTC)\, and First Robotics Competition (FRC) programs\, together with our friend\nteams. The FLL is a Lego based robotics competition program suitable for grades K-8 (ages 5-16). The FTC is a robotics competition program suitable for grades 7-12 (ages 12-18). The FRC program is suitable for high school students (age 14-18). They gave students at all levels great opportunity to learn following\nskills: 1. STEM and technical skills including engineering thinking\, software and hardware\, electronics and robotics\, Critical thinking and problem\nsolving 2. Team work and leadership skills\, including collaboration\, effective communication\, project\nmanagement 3. Business and outreach skills\, including fundraising and finance\, branding and marketing\,\nentrepreneurship Our goal is to raise awareness of the First Robotics programs\, and inspire more students in our community to explore STEM\, especially engineering and robotics. We will have multiple robotics teams at different levels to show case our robots and introduce how to build and test robots. Visitors will have fun interaction with robots. Through this activity\, we hope to spark curiosity\, encourage hands-on learning\, and get more kids excited about robotics and STEM and engineering.

SUMMARY:The Higgs Boson and the Quest for New Physics: A Journey into the Heart of Matter
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Suyog Shrestha\, Assistant Professor of Physics at Washington College\, as we explore what scientists are doing today to uncover new physics that may one day rewrite our understanding of the universe. Through his collaborative work at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider\, including the Nobel Prize–winning discovery of the Higgs boson\, we are getting closer to answering fundamental questions about the universe. This discussion should enlighten and inspire the most curious. \nNo registration required. \nAbout Dr. Suyog Shrestha \nDr. Suyog Shrestha is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Washington College (Chestertown\, Maryland)\, where he leads the College’s involvement in the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
