Children ages 8 to 13 can watch the robots in action, ask the team how they are built and programmed, and take part in science experiments the students run during the session. It is a low-key way for curious elementary and middle schoolers to see what school robotics teams do. The program runs an hour and a half in the West meeting room (in the outpost building behind the library) on a Saturday afternoon, and no registration is required. ## Similar picks in Austin - [STEM Program: Science Experiments at Lake Travis West Library](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/stem-program-science-experiments-at-lake-travis-west-library--listing-7d567e9bad7f5debf58aa20e) — Fri, Dec 18 · 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM · Lake Travis Community Library – West Library, Spicewood · Ages 5+ · checked Oct 20.
