RoboThink Holiday STEM Workshop: Build, Learn, and Celebrate the Season!

The magic of the holidays will be celebrated in an exciting new way during the RoboThink Holiday Workshop at Gorton Center. In this special seasonal program, students will be immersed in a world where creativity, robotics, and holiday cheer come together for an unforgettable learning experience.

During this festive workshop, participants will embark on a delightful engineering adventure inspired by a timeless holiday favorite – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Guided by RoboThink’s engaging STEM curriculum, each child will build their very own robotic Rudolph, complete with a bright, glowing red nose that truly shines. Using gears, motors, and axles, students will explore how mechanical systems work while discovering the fun side of science and technology.

Step by step, young inventors will assemble their creations, learning how movement and power are transferred through simple machines. As their reindeer robots come to life, students will gain confidence and pride in their accomplishments. Concepts such as motion, circuitry, and design will be explored through hands-on building – making learning both joyful and memorable.

No prior experience will be required. Every student will be guided by trained instructors who ensure that learning remains playful, supportive, and accessible. The workshop will encourage teamwork, imagination, and curiosity as participants share their creations and celebrate their success together.

By the end of the session, each child will have built a working holiday robot that captures the wonder of the season. Along the way, valuable STEM skills in engineering, problem-solving, and creative thinking will have been developed.

This holiday workshop is the perfect blend of fun and education, designed to inspire young minds while spreading festive joy. So, bring your holiday spirit, your curiosity, and your imagination—and get ready to make this season truly bright!
