We held multiple events with fast-paced “sumo” robotics battles allowing students to use LEGO Spike Kits to make shields and battle against one another, sphero bots, and fun science events such as color-changing ink and creating their own DNA model using candy.

“The hands-on nature of the event provided practical application that classroom learning alone cannot replicate. The event’s structure empowers underrepresented groups to see themselves as future leaders in the STEM community.” — Jenny Miner, APL Youth Librarian

2468 holds city-wide STEM events in partnership with Ann Richards School for Girls, inspiring 35+ girls to pursue STEM.
