"It's math you can hold in your hands."

That's Caroline Katis, our new Robotics Specialist Teacher, on the program she's launching at BCS this year. Every learner builds a working robot on day one, no experience needed, then moves into real coding.

This program is made possible by a grant from the BCS Foundation. Want to see it in action? Join us for Foundation Friday Coffee and meet Caroline:

📍 North Campus — Fri, Sept 25, 8:15–9:30am, Fab Lab
📍 South Campus — Fri, Oct 2, 8:30–9:30am, Library
