Next weekend: SteinCHenwelt event in Switzerland

Some weeks ago, we posted some announcement for the SteinCHenwelt already.
On next weekend, the 12^th and 13^th of September, it finally will take place in the Swiss Technorama Science Center in Wintherthur, Switzerland, hosted by the Swiss LEGO® Users Group.
Next to a lot of LEGO® stuff there will be also some NXT robots attending, including a GBC and a soccer pitch where the visitors can match against each others with two remotely controlled NXT 2.0 robots (created by me).
And, of course, questions can be dropped to the present NXT experts (including three MCPs).

The event will start at Saturday 9:00 AM and last until Sunday around 5:00 PM.

A very special feature of the SteinCHenwelt is the possibility to inspect and try out the fantastic gadgets of the Technorama also in the same run - and that is always worth a visit!

Are there local Robotics events near you?

I live in Maine.  There is a Maine based non-profit that is pushing to teach Robotics to students.  It's a great way to get people interested in robotics (specifically using LEGO Mindstorms and VEX systems).

They organize and run the FLL competitions (usually two for the State of Maine).  They have other events, such as a Track Meet (a series of challenges for the NXT or RCX bots) and they also run robotics camps.  There are several of these camps every summer.  Each one is one week long, and they have beginner, intermediate and advanced classes.

You can read a bit more about Maine Robotics here, or check out the Maine Robotics website.
