EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Over 400 students gathered at the Martin Middle School in East Providence on Saturday to showcase their robotic creations, and to compete against other area students.
Students grades K-12 showcased their homemade robotic and mechanical inventions through demonstrations and a parade. The event also included a ‘Robotic Feeding Frenzy.’
The robots, machines, creatures and other gizmos were created in school, or during after-school activities.
First Lego League and Jr. First Lego League also attended the event to show their creations, and to discuss their program.
The event kicked off National Robotics Week which is scheduled for April 9-17, and to celebrate National Science and Technology Month.
