This sounds like a really fun event, and the best part is admission is free & open to the public: From April 15-17, the Georgia Dome will host the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science & Technology) annual robotics championship.
Last year, more than 20,000 people came out to watch teams of students ages 9-high school design, build, & program their robots. Once built, the robots compete against the creations of other teams.
I’m rooting for the girls—love to watch them prove that you don’t have to be male to be good at math & science.
