You have been invited to the following event.

Title: Hidden Figures: Build-Your-Own-Robot Workshop
Virginia Tech's Division of Information Technology presents Hidden Figures:  
Build-Your-Own-Robot Workshop as part of their celebration of Women's Month  
on Monday, March 19, 2018 at Room 1100 Torgersen Hall on the campus of  
Virginia Tech.

Have you ever programmed a robot? Or build a robot from scratch? This  
hands-on workshop will take you from the basics of moving a servo, to  
reading input from ultrasonic range sensors, and then constructing and  
programming a self navigating "Martian Laser Bot" that we affectionately  
refer to as the "trash bot” (because we make her out of scrap foam board,  
hot glue, milk jug caps, an arduino and a bit of code.

This is a great hands-on workshop for new and experienced makers alike, and  
is a ton of fun too!

Admission is free.

Capacity is limited to 20 participants and advance registration is required.

Note: An adult must stay with children participating in the workshop.

The series of events "Hidden Figures: Into the Future" will include a free  
showing of the award-winning movie, with a keynote speaker and Q&A session,  
followed by a variety of tours of Virginia Tech science and technology  
facilities. We will also be sharing information related to college access  
and majors in the STEM and data science fields.
