This event is held every February and attracts thousands of youth and adults in robotics activities, STEM presentations, vendor booths, and a variety of engaging STEM activities. The Expo represents a collaborative between the SPIRIT Project and the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development project, and FIRST® LEGO® League to create an outstanding robotics competition for about 1,000 of our local and greater Nebraska area youth. As you cheer on our future scientists and engineers, we encourage you to visit the CEENBoTTM Showcase, FIRST LEGO League events, sponsor booths, and museum exhibits. The CEENBoT Showcase features a custom robot developed through the SPIRIT project called the 324 CEENBoT. The CEENBoT is an “open-source” robot that has a totally new and enhanced platform featuring multiple autonomous programming options that include a TI Graphing Calculator Interface, a Graphical Programming Interface (GPI), and programming in the C language with an Application Programming Interface (API).
