Tiverton Library Services and the Institute of Electric and Electronics Engineers Presents Robot Fest for Teens

Sign up for the Robotics Workshops at the Tiverton High School Library, brought to you by Tiverton Library Services, Friends of the Tiverton Libraries, and IEEE.

Tiverton Library Services in partnership with the Institute of Electric and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) presents five FREE workshops this summer at the Tiverton High School Library. These workshops are designed especially for teens, ages 11-18, and participation in the summer reading program is required to attend the workshops. Registration and participation in the summer reading program at the Tiverton Public Library is free.

Staff from IEEE will present all five workshops and work with teens to use software provided by LEGO and build robots.

"I LOVED building my own robot last summer. Dave from IEEE was so helpful and I learned so much. I gained confidence, made new friends, and had a blast last summer. You should try it too!" - Amy, 14, at the Essex Library
