Robot Fest is a free 1-day event for students of all ages and for those with the unquenchable urge to create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics and mechanical parts of metal and plastic. In the early years we focused on the demonstration of robotic projects, but more recently we have expanded into realms where technology is used in any creative fashion. We welcome the hackers, hobbyists and makers and those who are not content to sit back and watch yet another screen, be it on a phone, handheld, laptop, desktop or TV. If you are inexplicably drawn to sites like makezine.com, hackaday.com and instructables.com, we want you. See something new. Ask questions. Awaken your creative instinct.

Plans are underway to hold a robot camp and weekend robot workshops later this summer and in the fall. Information about these events will be posted in the events section of the National Electronics Museum website. Remember to check back in early spring for information about the date and time of the 2010 RobotFest.
