Robots vs. Apples

Ok folks it's finally time to get this group started! For our first Meetup we will be focusing on initial introductions and finding out the needs of our members related to STEM education with a heavy emphasis on Educational Robotics. If you're a parent we'll talk about how to get your kids engaged in robotics as well options for home & school use. If you're an educator we'll talk about how to get things rolling inside your school day and/or how to run an after school program. If you'd like to volunteer to help support a program or you're just curious about robotics or Cider, that's cool too...everybody is welcome!

Why Robotics? Having taught STEM classes to K-12 students over nearly 20 years, the most effective and engaging programs have consistently been the educational robotics classes! We'll discuss how to get involved in one of the many programs out there and if you're really interested and have kids/students ages 7-13 we'll see if we can get them participating in a self competitive event on June 1st!! As a bonus we'll be sampling some of the best Ciders in San Diego --- if it matters I'm super passionate about local food and drink all over the planet so we'll always have a little something at our meetups! Hope to see you all there!
