Tomorrow afternoon, the Aquidneck Island Robotics (AIR) club, a local 4H group that teaches competitive robotics, is hosting an open house in building 80 of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) from 10am-3pm. From the press release:

This highly interactive event will let area students and their families a chance to participate in robot demonstrations, view photos and videos from past competitions, and discuss this exciting program with club members.

The club is currently recruiting students from Newport County, ages 9 through 18, to participate in their upcoming robotics competition season. Prospective members can come from any middle school or high school, public or private. The robotics competitions allow professional mentors from local businesses to collaborate with student members to create a truly hands-on program. AIR members travel across New England and the country to compete in international robotics events and by participating, student members have access to $10 million in scholarships to colleges and universities throughout the country.

For additional information on the club, contact club leader Rick Blight via email at rick[at]air4h[dot]org or visit the club website at www.air4h.org.

I know where we'll be tomorrow afternoon...
