Robot Block Party

July 19 -20

Break out your Bermuda shorts and techie t-shirts and get ready to boogie down with ‘bots of all shapes and sizes at Carnegie Science Center's Robot Block Party!

Check out the region's “A-list” robots – from automated cars that drive cross-country by themselves and bomb-detonating first responders to robots that greet you, dance to the sound of your voice and explore outer space. They're all going to be on hand for the hottest block party this side of Silicon Valley with food and fun for people of all ages.

Robotics enthusiasts and novices alike can party with researchers working on the latest in robotics breakthroughs and get a close encounter with everything robotic.
