Participants who want to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), while building, programming, and competing with VEX robots in a fun, engaging environment.

The workshops are completely free! We are accepting a maximum of 10 participants per workshop. Our workshops are for individuals with diverse needs who will have either completed or are about to enter grades 8-12.

The workshops will be held at the Pacific Autism Family Network (PAFN) Richmond hub, located on 3688 Cessna Drive, V7B 1C7.

The robotics program has 4 sessions, each session is about 2 hours. Please note that when participants register, they will be registering for four sessions in either June or July. See our summer dates below.
