Building fun with Special Olympics KY
Saturday, January 25th 10-Noon
SOKY will present robotics to the group and let them interact with the robots. Attendants will then split the group up into teams and allow them to build their robots for a Battle Bots competition.
Each team would be given a pre-programmed robot that they would build onto to prepare for competition. The robotics kits that we use are Lego-based so the building is just like building with Legos.
This is primarily an event to drive interest in STEM and robotics.

There's no business too big or too small!
We’re looking to build an index of trusted DSL family businesses on our website.
It does not need to be a “Mom & Pop” or independent business to be submitted. Our goal is to promote DSL families from within.
