About This Event
Offseason Robotics
Thinking about joining The Curve's competitive robotics team for the next season of BEST Robotics? You don’t have to wait until next fall! Join us this winter for 8 weeks of offseason creativity, team building, and skills development—without the pressure of competition deadlines. Each session will focus on a different aspect of the competition, preparing students to pitch in wherever needs arise during the season. From robot building to video editing to graphic design, students will get lots of practice turning their ideas into actual products.
Meeting Dates: January 15, 22, 29; February 5, 12, 19; March 5, 12 Times: 9:30 AM - 11 AM
About the Instructor
Nashville native Will Sanford is a DIY tech enthusiast, tinkerer, and educator. He has been working with and learning alongside young people since volunteering to lead a coding club at his son’s middle school more than a decade ago. Will and his wife, Mary, also have a daughter who will be heading off to college in the fall of 2026. He is a graduate of Northwestern University, with a B.A. in English/Creative Writing. With a background in educational publishing and online learning, Will is especially interested in exploring how robot building and creative tech making can help build foundational STEM skills and knowledge in all kids--not just the ones who already think of themselves as future engineers. He loves developing accessible, hands-on activities that encourage play, improvisation, and collaboration for his company, Janky Robots.
