Girls of Steel Robotics Workshop

Nov 9, 2024 - Nov 9, 2024
Heinz History Center
1212 Smallman Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

Presented in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s Girls of Steel Robotics team, this workshop invites 4th through 6th grade students to take inspiration from the “real-life” Rosie the Riveters and explore STEM.

Participants will enjoy a guided tour of the A Woman’s Place: How Women Shaped Pittsburgh exhibition, which includes a competitive robot from the Girls of Steel Robotics team.

Following the tour, attendees will engage in a mentor-led workshop, where they will have the opportunity to assemble, wire, and drive a robot chassis. Learn about a robot’s structural components and watch your design drive away!

The Girls of Steel Robotics Workshop is $5 per participant currently enrolled as a fourth, fifth, or sixth grade student. Program admission includes one FREE adult admission to the History Center on Saturday, Nov. 9.

Space for this workshop is limited, so please register in advance to secure your spot!
