Participant Feedback
Families and students responded positively to the hands-on robotics learning experience and station-based workshop format.
Launch Workshop (April 2026)
“Instructions were clear and she was able to complete without much difficulty.”
“Enjoyed coding the robots and guiding them through the obstacle course.”
“Great event and my daughter had fun!”
Summer Workshop (June 2026)
“Excellent activity. Thanks to all of you!”
“Great event, and look forward to more in the future!”
“It was good and (my daughter) enjoyed it.”
Summer Challenge Workshop (July 2026)
“(My daughter enjoyed) the hands-on experience and being able to try different activities.”
“It was fun and great! No improvements necessary.”
“She had a great time, and it was nice because the groups were smaller.”
Feedback collected across the workshops supports continued development of Regency Robotics and demonstrates that the rotating activity format provides an accessible and engaging robotics experience for students ages 8–12.
Pilot Workshop Results (April 2026)
Survey responses from participating families were used to evaluate engagement, accessibility, learning outcomes, and interest in future Regency Robotics workshops.
All 9 participating families completed evaluation surveys following the workshop.
Most participating families rated the Regency Robotics launch workshop as Excellent, indicating strong engagement with the station-based learning format.
Most participating students reported increased interest in robotics after the workshop, demonstrating the effectiveness of the station-based workshop format.
The obstacle course navigation challenge was the most frequently selected favorite activity, while several students reported enjoying all stations equally.
Most families reported that instructions and activities were easy to follow, confirming that the station-based workshop format is accessible for students ages 8–12.
Nearly all participating families expressed interest in attending future Regency Robotics workshops, supporting continued program expansion at Regency Park Library.
These results demonstrate strong student engagement, accessible instruction, and sustained interest in future Regency Robotics workshops.
Summer Workshop Results (June 2026)
Survey responses from participating families were used to evaluate engagement, accessibility, learning outcomes, and interest in future Regency Robotics workshops.
A total of 11 parent feedback forms were returned following the June workshop. One participating family was unable to complete a survey because the student left with another family immediately after the event.
All participating families rated the Summer Regency Robotics workshop as Good or Excellent, demonstrating continued positive engagement and satisfaction with the expanded workshop format.
All participating families reported that the Summer Regency Robotics workshop increased or may increase their child's interest in robotics, demonstrating the continued effectiveness of the program's hands-on engineering activities.
Dinosaur Rescue Mission was the most popular activity. Three participants enjoyed all stations equally, and one selected both Dinosaur Rescue Mission and Robot Art Studio.
All participating families reported that the workshop instructions and activities were either Very Easy or Mostly Easy to follow, demonstrating the accessibility of the program for elementary and middle school students.
Most participating families expressed interest in attending future Regency Robotics workshops, while the remaining respondents indicated they may attend, reflecting strong community interest in the program.
Summer Challenge Workshop Results (July 2026)
Survey responses from participating families were used to evaluate engagement, accessibility, learning outcomes, and interest in future Regency Robotics workshops.
A total of 6 parent feedback forms were returned from the 7 students who participated in the July workshop.
All participating families rated the July Regency Robotics workshop as Good or Excellent, with 83.3% rating the experience as Excellent.
Most participating families reported that the July workshop increased their child’s interest in robotics, with 83.3% reporting increased interest.
The Racing Challenge was the most popular activity, selected by four of the six participating families. One family selected the Bowling Challenge, while another reported enjoying all three activities.
All participating families rated the workshop instructions and activities as Very Easy to follow, resulting in a 100% Very Easy rating.
All participating families expressed interest in attending future Regency Robotics workshops, demonstrating continued interest in the program.
Program Growth
Since its launch in April 2026, Regency Robotics has continued to evolve through participant feedback, hands-on testing, and recurring library workshops. Each event has introduced new robotics activities while helping refine a repeatable workshop model that can be implemented at additional library locations.
Program growth since launch includes:
Three completed Regency Park Library workshops
Expansion from 3 to 9 reusable robotics activities
Addition of Dinosaur Rescue Mission, Crazy Frog Programming Challenge, Robot Art Studio, Soccer Challenge, Bowling Challenge, and Racing Challenge
Continued support from LED Robotics student volunteers
Development and testing of custom activity materials, including CAD-designed and 3D-printed components
Participant and family feedback collected after each workshop to evaluate and improve the program
Recognition by Tampa Bay 28 ABC News
Development of standardized activity guides and implementation resources for the RAIL documentation binder
Preparation for expansion of the Regency Robotics workshop model to additional library locations
Summary
Evaluation results from the first three Regency Robotics workshops demonstrate that the program provides an engaging and accessible way to introduce students ages 8–12 to robotics and engineering concepts in a public library setting. Participant and family feedback has helped guide the development of new activities and improvements to the workshop model, while repeated implementation has allowed the activities, volunteer procedures, and supporting resources to be tested and refined.
With nine reusable activities, standardized implementation resources, trained student volunteers, and a repeatable three-activity workshop structure, Regency Robotics is being prepared for implementation at additional library locations through the RAIL framework.
