RoboRoots 2.0 : Civic Tech Summit

Following the landmark success of our inaugural hackathon, RoboRoots returns to the African American Art & Culture Complex (AAACC). We are uniting community members, civic leadership, frontier industry mentors, and rising builders under one roof. Together, we are not just building robots—we are building the right educational and technological course for our community's future.
