POB Robotics Team Hosts Engineering Awareness Night

The Plainview-Old Bethpage robotics team, POBots, hosted its long-running Engineering Awareness Night event on November 10th. The event, which the team has organized for the past 15 years, introduces younger generations of POB students to the principles of STEAM.

Students in kindergarten and up had the opportunity to engage in hands-on STEAM activities, such as creating electrical circuits out of Play-Doh, building and launching paper rockets, exploring how bridge engineering and load-bearing structures work, piloting robots, touring the POBots’ engineering workshop, and much more! The event also served as an introduction for middle school students interested in robotics to the FIRST Lego League.

This year’s Engineering Awareness Night was also special because it was the first to welcome in-person visitors in two years.
