B4T Teams Up With 826CHI
826CHI is an amazingly awesome organization, and we are pleased to announce that Bots 4 Tots will be working with them to bring robotics AND robot-inspired creative writing to kids this summer!!! That’s right, people. We are definitely NOT messing around up in this piece!
826CHI, the super-crazy-wonderful Chicago based chapter of 826 National, operates on location at The Boring Store (1331 North Milwaukee Ave) to sell secret agent supplies to… ahem, I MEAN, tutor and teach Chicago kids after school and at countless workshops.
Have you seen this place? You’ve got to check it out! Don and I think the world of them and the work that they do there, so of course, we were ecstatic when they suggested doing a joint workshop!
Bots 4 Tots will be holding a workshop in conjunction with 826CHI this May entitled “Reading, Writing and Robots”. It will be held in two parts: first the kids will come to a B4T workshop and build robots, and then the following week we’ll all meet up again at The Boring Store and talk/write/draw about the adventures our robots have been on, what kind of personalities they have developed, and what we imagine they are like now that we’ve gotten to know them inside and out!
We are really excited to work with the good people at 826CHI, and we thank them for their tireless efforts for the kids of Chicago! Here’s looking at you, 826CHI. You know, through binoculars.
