I can't attend the "Parallax Robotics & Microcontrollers Expo" on April 13th & 14th in Rocklin, CA as I am on the East Coast.
So, I will be attending the next best thing.

Robotfest is an annual event for anyone interested in the creative use of technology. They welcome all roboticists, hackers, artists, hobbyists and makers of any age who have the unquenchable urge to develop and create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics, fabrics and mechanical parts. Join the fun and excitement with hands-on exhibits, and workshops!
It features workshops and numerous hands-on activities that are a big hit with younger attendees. There will be "Make and Take" activities offered. The event is designed to offer activities and things to see and do that appeal to both boys and girls. One of the goals of the event is to spark an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
