Rainy Saturday: Free Robotics Competition

March 12, 2010

This Saturday the weather forecast is dreary and rainy. Instead of heading to the packed bounce place, or the crazy mall, come over to Downingtown to see kids ages 11-18 compete in theEastern Pennsylvania Regional VEX robotics championship!

VEX is a free program run by Downingtown Area School District and dedicated volunteers. All children in middle and high school can join, and learn engineering skills, and robotics in a fun way.

The competition will be held Saturday 3/13 from 9am-4pm.

The snack bar will be open, and all proceeds from the snack bar will go to supporting the VEX teams! Admission is free.
