PaloBots is a club the helps kids learn about robotics, programming, technology, and teamwork. Our mission is:
- To enable 'rookie' kids to become familiar with robotics, problem solving, and the basics of teamwork
- To enable more experienced & committed kids to learn exceptional skills in robot design, team organization & leadership, public presentation, and other aspects
- For any responsible kid (& parents) in the general Palo Alto area
PaloBots is meant to be "Serious Fun" -- kids should be having fun while they are seriously focused on learning a wealth of new things.
Schedule and Format
PaloBots is entering its fourth year. Each year has a 'club' period from February through August, and a 'team' period from August through February. During the club period, club members learn, practice, and have lots of fun. Club meetings are every other week for a couple hours. During the team period, teams form to compete in FLL. Teams can meet as little as once a week (~3 hours) to as much as 2-3 times a week (8+ hours) depending on the goals of the team. Club members can either join a team or just watch what is going on.
