Children can participate in fun-filled interactive robot demonstrations and will get opportunities to learn about many different types of robots and see how a robot is built, Global Tech owner Donna Batts said.
Batts said the workshops will be held on four Saturdays, beginning April 26 and concluding in July. Three workshops are set for Summerville and one for North Charleston. Advanced registration is suggested due to limited seating.
Global Tech Kids is a new computer, science, and technology enrichment center at 414 Old Trolley Road, Suite B, in Summerville, she said.
