About us
The primary goal of this group is to bring together parents of high school students and the students themselves to participate in a two-part workshop series designed to provide a structured framework for building a future in robotics.
Each month, we plan to host two primary workshops as part of this group: one for parents and one for high school students.
Parent Workshop: How to Build a High-Impact Student Profile in the Age of Robotics
Parent Workshop: How to Build a High-Impact
Student Profile in the Age of Robotics?
A practical workshop for parents of high school students who are serious about building a high-impact university profile that demonstrates sustained impact in the field and positions them for top-tier programs in robotics and AI.
Student Workshop: Robotics Intensive Program with a Silicon Valley Roboticist
A 3-hour, hands-on workshop for high school students who want to kick-start their journey in robotics. No prior experience is required.
Registration links for both workshops each month are available on our website:

How to Build a High-Impact Student Profile in the Age of Robotics?
Location not specified yetHow to Build a High-Impact Student Profile in the Age of Robotics?
A 1-hour workshop for parents of high school students serious about building a high-impact university profile that demonstrates sustained impact in the field and positions them for top-tier programs in robotics and AI.
RSVP Note: We’d love to have you join us. To reserve your spot, please RSVP through the official Boring Sage website. There is no need to RSVP on Meetup—we’ll use your Boring Sage RSVP to hold your place for the workshop.
What You'll Learn
Our goal is to help parents guide their students to channelize their interests to one field they genuinely care about, develop deep expertise, solve real-world problems, and build a body of work they can publish and present, leading to a sustained, high-impact profile that best positions them for the university admissions process.

What You'll Build & Learn:
Over this 3-hour intensive session, students will learn how robotic systems work from first principles, build a two-wheel-drive (2WD) robot, hear what it’s like to work as a roboticist in Silicon Valley, and leave with a structured 5-step roadmap for building a long-term career in robotics.During this sessions, students will:
- Learn the First Principles of Robotics
- Understand the Architecture of a Robot
- Build a Two-Wheel-Drive (2WD) Robot
- Hear What It's Like to Work as a Roboticist in Silicon Valley
- Get a 5-Step Roadmap for Building a Career in Robotics
- Q&A: Career pathways in robotics
