SUMMARY:Learn About Robotics and Pollution Prevention
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nPlastic in the ocean and our waterways is a lo
 cal and global issue. Join KIC Junior Leader Ayan and his robotics team\, 
 The Syntax of Smart\, to learn about the robot they built to remove pollut
 ion from lakes and oceans. Their team is a part of First Tech Challenge - 
 an STEM-focused organization that invites kids ages 12-18 to program\, des
 ign and build and compete with robots. \n\nActivities\nParticipants will l
 isten to a presentation by Ayan’s Syntax of Smart Robotics Team showcasi
 ng what they do as a robotics team. Your family will learn how the robot w
 orks and even interact with the robot.\n\nNext\, you’ll have the opportu
 nity to make a difference by repurposing plastic grocery bags to keep them
  out of the landfill and our waterways! The robotics team will teach you h
 ow to use the bags to make plarn\, a plastic yarn. All of the plarn made a
 t this session will be donated to Mercy Mats of West Allis to crochet into
  cushy sleeping mats to be distributed by Repairers of the Breach – Milw
 aukee’s only daytime homeless resource center.\nImpact\nOutreach is a ve
 ry big part of robotics and really helps the team share robotics with the 
 community. Kids will also make plarn to help make sleeping mats for the un
 housed community and make sure they are supported. \n\nWhen &amp\; Where\n
