Run as part of the Project Bucephalus Robotics Online program, this class is available to any student (child or adult) that wants to participate in a challenging STEM activity – and have a lot of fun in the process!

While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult.
