    The Red Oak High School Robotics class held their annual Build-a-Bot event at the Red Oak High School.

    The Robotics Club held two sessions, morning and afternoon, for children in the area, where they were able to build a robot from a kit with the help of the talented Robotic Club Students.

    The kids were able to also see what the ROHS Robotic Club does year-round and some of the Robots the HS Students have built.

    The event saw nearly 100 kids come to the event, build their kit robot and they got to take it home with them.

    Although the event was canceled last year due to the Covid-19 concerns, this year’s event may have been the largest yet.
