Overview
Regency Robotics workshops introduce students ages 8–12 to robotics through structured, hands-on learning stations hosted at Regency Park Library. The program is designed to support recurring library STEM events using reusable materials and documented station guides.
Participants rotate through activity stations that introduces sensor-based navigation, programmed movement, and engineering problem-solving skills.
Workshop Structure
The workshop is organized into rotating activity stations so students can explore multiple robotics challenges during a single session.
Each station focuses on a different engineering concept:
• Sensor-based line tracking
• Programmed maze navigation
• Remote-controlled obstacle navigation
• Teamwork and iterative problem-solving
This structure allows students with different experience levels to participate successfully.
Volunteer Leadership
High school robotics students support the workshop by guiding participants through each activity station.
Volunteer responsibilities include:
• Demonstrating how robots operate
• Helping students troubleshoot challenges
• Encouraging teamwork and experimentation
• Supporting safe use of robotics equipment
This mentorship model allows younger students to learn from experienced robotics participants while building leadership experience for volunteers.
Christiana trains student robotics volunteers on maze station programming procedures using the mBot app prior to the Regency Robotics workshop, preparing volunteers to guide participants through navigation challenges.
Christiana works with Regency Park Library staff to review robotics kits and coordinate activity station materials for the Regency Robotics workshop program, supporting implementation of a repeatable library-hosted STEM outreach model.
Library Partnership
I partnered with Regency Park Library staff to prepare materials, organize activity stations, and support workshop logistics.
Libraries provide an ideal environment for STEM outreach because they are accessible community learning spaces that serve students from a wide range of backgrounds.
This partnership helps make robotics education available beyond traditional classroom settings.
Program Documentation Binder
To support long-term sustainability of the Regency Robotics program, I created a program documentation binder containing activity station setup guides, materials lists, volunteer instructions, and workshop organization resources.
This binder enables Regency Park Library staff and student volunteers to continue hosting robotics workshops independently during future library STEM events.
Materials Used
The workshop uses beginner-friendly robotics kits and reusable activity station materials designed for repeated implementation.
Materials include:
• Makeblock mBot robots with programmable movement and sensor-based navigation
• Printed maze navigation challenges
• Obstacle course station components
• Line tracking paths
• Station setup guides for volunteers
These materials allow the workshop to be used for recurring Regency Robotics events and adapted for implementation at additional library locations.
