What is Battle Bot Bash?
Battle Bot Bash is a 2-hour hands-on event where kids ages 7–12 walk in as curious builders and walk out as robot engineers who just won (or survived!) a bot battle.
Using LEGO SPIKE, kids design and assemble their own robot, then write the code that makes it move, dodge, and fight. No prior coding or robotics experience needed — our coaches guide every kid through every step.
It's competitive, it's loud, and it's the most fun a kid can have on a Thursday night.
