Kids program robots at the Hazelwood Green's Summer Concert Series

Every summer, Hazelwood Local puts together community events at the Hazelwood Green. This past Sunday was the first of several Summer Concert Series events that included live music, activities/games for kids, food trucks, and local vendors selling goods or sharing information or resources.

Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy was invited to bring some activities for kids to get a chance to play with robots for the event, and we decided to bring some robots as well as laptops to play some of our Player Programmed Partner (P3G) Games. 200-300 people showed up, and plenty of kids within that group! Kids came by to try programming a LEGO SPIKE Prime robot around a space themed challenge board. They also played Acceleration City - a co-bot car game where students can complete races, challenges, or collect hidden "minanimals". Some kids ended up coming back to play some more! What a wonderful event !
