The Fall Session of the Lego Extreme Robotics Camp at Montgomery County Community College has now finished. I have suggested that two more camps be considered. These are a Camp for Bridge, Tower and Crane building using toothpicks, and one designed to explore the use of alternative energy.

The Beginning
W.I.R.E. which stands for the Weatherly Institute for Robotics and Engineering. Our philosophy is based off of the ideal of gracious professionalism and the teaching of robotics and engineering technology for younger children and young adults. We have created a safe, non-violent, program that allows children of all ages to come and learn about the sciences and to express their own creativity and learn new skills. The W.I.R.E. is a non-profit organization, that does accept donations willingly and greatly appreciates them.
The Weatherly Institute for Robotics and Engineering grew from the solid foundations laid down over the last two years by the Weatherly Robotics Club. This is our fourth year in the FIRST robotic competitions. We are a growing group of youths, young adults, and adult mentors with about 89 people involved in the program. This includes our high school students, our VEX students Eighth and Ninth Grades, our FLL 9-14 year old students and our newest addition our 6 - 9 year old JLL students. We are always willing to accept new members at no cost to them, so stop by anytime.
