## About

Team 5940 BREAD is an award-winning high school robotics team. At Brisbane Library its members run a 90-minute hands-on introduction to robotics and circuits for school-age children and teens. Participants code robots and learn how circuits work, with teenagers as mentors, which many younger kids find motivating. The library lists it for children 6–11 and teens 12–18. It is limited to the first 15 participants, and online registration through the library's event page is required, with a waitlist once full. The same team runs this workshop at other San Mateo County branches on other dates; this record is the Brisbane session.
