 Hi everyone! As you may know, BoroBot donated 1050 face shields to first responders, healthcare workers and medical facilities. Now, as we move back to our mission of teaching, we have one last project to help those who are on the front lines: ear savers! Thanks to Brandon Beller we have a file we would like to share that you can print at home! Brandon helped us out tremendously when we were working on a design for the face shields, and we wouldn't have been able to help as quickly as we did without him. We have printed and are distributing 1000 of these as we speak; and please keep an eye out for our upcoming *virtual* classes! If you have a 3D printer at home, please use the file below to print your own ear savers!

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/muvbYqpLtH7MoaEg8 Thank you! -Team BoroBot Last April, BoroBot was able to bring 13 Middleboro kids into the SeaPERCH underwater robotics competition in New Bedford. They competed against surrounding towns to pilot an underwater robot that they built themselves through an obstacle course that tested their critical thinking, engineering, and teamwork skills. 🐳
This year BoroBot is recruiting kids aged 8-18 to take part in the competition that will take place at Bridgewater State University on March 14th. If your are interested, please take a look at the schedule in the link below. Thanks to our TBD sponsors and donors, there will be no cost for Middleboro kids to enter this competition. Just bring your mind, energy, and dedication! 👍 The dates are included in the signup form which you can checkout here - signups will be accepted until January 16th. 🕒 forms.gle/ghT8EvA8oMzsh2Li6 BoroBot is offering a free 3D printing workshop to Middleborough residents ages 10-18.

Please sign up here: https://forms.gle/TCZoq4bNZZNiLU4k7 Thank You, Team BoroBot  BoroBot is now seeking students to fill our October 3D printing class! Students in our September workshop excelled and had a great time learning and creating - we even saw a phone case designed and printed this time around! The class consists of (3) 90 minute sessions and during the 2nd and 3rd sessions bringing their creations to three dimensional life. It is a great learning opportunity to gain exposure to this technology even if the student doesn’t have CAD or 3D printing experience.
Please note that there is a cost of $60 per child, but Middleboro residents 21 and under attend for free. Your child will be taught by Earl Geden and Rich Oakley who will work with each and every student to make sure they are learning and having fun! Students will leave with experience and excitement to learn and do more. Please fill out the form by clicking the signup here button below by Friday, October 18th (11:59 pm) If you have already signed up and were on the waiting list you do not have to sign up again. BoroBot is now seeking students to fill our August 3D printing class! Students in our May and June classes excelled and had a great time learning and creating a 3D print. The class consists of (3) 90 minute sessions and during the 2nd and 3rd sessions bringing their creations to three dimensional life. It is a great learning opportunity to gain exposure to this technology even if the student doesn’t have CAD or 3D printing experience.
Your child will be taught by two extremely knowledgeable makers, Chris and Amber, who have vast experience teaching this technology all over the south shore.
