We had a full day from early morning until 5pm last weekend (October 11) at the first annual Boy Scouts of America STEM Encampment. The event was coed and the boys and girls participated by choosing a STEM "track", short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. They would look for Booths on their track and participate in demos or talks at each booth.
RoboTar was on the technology track but we had kids coming through from all over. They put us in a great outdoor Gazeebo/stage and the weather was great. I built in some songs I though might be recognizable for middle schoolers such as "Story of My Life" by One Direction, Pompeii by Bastille, "Wake Me Up" by Avicci, "Let it Go" from Frozen, etc.
We had some kids coming back again and again with huge smiles in their faces. One girl did a great job playing and Singing the One Direction song all the way through which made the whole day worth the effort.
I really think we turned some kids on to music last weekend.
