PLYMOUTH, Mich.—Each year, Lightning Robotics puts on its annual Robots in the Park event in Plymouth, Michigan. Composed of a team of students, these high schoolers and their numerous supportive mentors worked hard to make this completely free event an engaging learning environment and an overall success. Hosted in Kellogg Park, the grass and nearby gathering area were filled with hands-on activities and demonstrations geared towards elementary children to introduce them to the fun world of STEM. Lightning Robotics has been running out of Canton High School for the past 26 years. The program is primarily comprised of Plymouth-Canton Educational Park students.
