Information:
The Atherton Robotics Club is open to 4th-6th graders and meets every Tuesday afternoon in the library from 3:45-4:45. They are also allowed to work on their projects in the library before school, after lunch, and at other times they have permission from their teachers. The sponsor is Mr. Cobbey. The club focuses on building robots using EV3 Lego kits and programming those robots to do tasks.
