The LigerBots at Green Expo on a Sunny Sunday!
November 21, 2024

On October 20th, the LigerBots attended the Green Expo, which is part of Harvest Fest, an annual community event in Newton Center. With over 100 businesses, vendors and organizations showcasing a wide variety of goods and services, the event attracted thousands of people!

This event was a great way to connect with kids and adults from Newton and surrounding towns; and to promote a love for STEAM and possibly a future on the LigerBots team!

We had many visitors throughout the day who enjoyed our STEAM activities which included making slime, creating a skeleton hand and folding an origami flexagon.

As usual, the 2024 robot was the main attraction. We had a lot of fun showing it off to parents and kids of all ages and had lots of great conversations!
