Girls, Geeks, Good times

I’ve been neglecting our blog! How can it be?

Well, I’ve been writing so very much here at Modular Robotics. Grants, presentations, conference proposals, lesson plans, and more. Many, many words, and even more time spent word-crafting leaves me feeling less than articulate when it comes to our blog. So, for this post, I’m going to let some pictures do most of the talking.

Modular Robotics was invited to Denver’s Girl Geek Dinner this month. What fun!  But more than fun, I love the opportunity to show off Cubelets and talk about the ways in which they’ve empowered girls to build a bridge from productive play to deeper comprehension.

Of course, with many girls, geeks, and gadget-lovers there, we also got to see some rad robot-building.

A budding maker and tech-innovator built some small moving robots first, and then gave herself the task of making a dog.

Kelly was really interested in driving robots, and using the Inverse Cubelet.

So we were thrilled when she won the raffle and went home with a KT06 of her own!

IMG_3160Thanks for having us Girl Geek – we loved talking about how Cubelets are a robot construction kit for everyone. We loved having smart ladies of all ages build amazing robots with us even more!
