    Unique and Interactive Workshops​

    Some of our workshops have been delivered to the public audience with the ages from 15-24 to register for and benefit from, most notably, the Martian Robotic Rover Workshops, where the participants assemble, program and test robotic rovers on a simulated Mars surface.
