SUMMARY:Marble Rollercoaster - Spring Break Program
DESCRIPTION:Build a marble raceway as you engineer sturdy piers and ramps\, experiment with curves and loops\, and add playful features like gates\, spinners\, and switchbacks.  \nWe’ll have pre-scored paper and chipboard stands and ramps for families to construct a marble raceway. We’ll have examples of different components they can attempt to engineer into their designs (curves\, loops\, switches\, gates\, spinners\, etc)

SUMMARY:Zipline Challenge - Spring Break Program
DESCRIPTION:Design a gravity powered vehicle to successfully roll (not slide) along a wire zipline. Explore balance and stability as you try to make it all the way down.  \nWe will stretch a wire across the room. Builders will figure out how to get something to balance and then roll along the wire.

SUMMARY:Summer Camp Week 1
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Camp \nIgnite your creativity and build your making skills with a week of engineering and inventing! Campers will explore real tools and unique materials\, and learn new skills while designing and building their own creations. \nOur week begins with a unique\, hands-on project developed by the staff to help familiarize campers with a wide range of tools\, techniques\, and materials. The rest of the week will focus on helping each camper come up with their own project idea and going through the design process to bring it to life. The campers will have the opportunity to use precision measurement tools and learn vector graphics software as they design\, prototype\, and build their projects.  \nTime: 9am-1pm \nCost: $132.43 \nDates: \nJune 29-July 3 For students entering grades 4-6 Register here: Innovation Camp Week 1 Tickets | American Precision Museum \nJuly 6-10 For students entering grades 6-8: Register here: Innovation Camp Week 2 Tickets | American Precision Museum \nAugust 3-7 For students entering grades 4-6 Register here: Innovation Camp Week 3 Tickets | American Precision Museum \n  \nStudents can sign up for multiple camps!

SUMMARY:Micrometer Day
DESCRIPTION:On September 7\, 1848\, Jean Laurent Palmer patented the first handheld micrometer in France—and changed the face of precision forever. This September 7\, we’re declaring it: Micrometer Day at the American Precision Museum! \nMicrometer Day is September 7. Bring your favorite micrometer — vintage or new\, well-worn or pristine — and admission is free. Joe and Bill will be on site to show anyone how to read one. \nSwap stories\, show off your tools\, and meet other people who care about fine tolerances. Whether you use a micrometer every day or inherited one you’ve never quite learned to read\, we want to see it. From longtime tool collectors to next-gen makers\, everyone’s welcome.

SUMMARY:Robo Jam 3
DESCRIPTION:Robo Jam 3\nA hands-on robotics meetup for FIRST® LEGO® League teams\, families\, and future engineers. \n  Register Your Team\n     \n\n \n\nDate\nSaturday\, October 24\, 2026\nTime\n10:00 AM – 2:00 PM\nWho\nFLL teams & families\, grades 2–8\nLocation\nHeritage Hall\, 56 G Company Rd\, Windsor\, VT 05089\, behind Friends & Co\n\n \nWhat Is Robo Jam?\nNow in its third year\, Robo Jam brings FIRST® LEGO® League teams from around the region together to put their robots to the test. Teams bring the robots they’ve been building and programming all season and get hands-on time to test and fine-tune their designs against this year’s game challenges. \nIt’s not just for competing teams\, though — parents and kids who are curious about FIRST® LEGO® League are welcome to stop by\, watch the action\, and talk with team coaches and representatives from New England FIRST® Robotics to learn what it’s all about. \n\n\nGrades 4–8 \nFIRST® LEGO® League Challenge\nRobo Jam is geared toward FLL Challenge teams — come test your robot\, troubleshoot with your team\, and get feedback ahead of competition season. \n\n\nGrades 2–4 \nFIRST® LEGO® League Explore\nYounger kids are welcome too! Stop by to see what FLL is all about and learn more about Explore\, the entry point into the FIRST® LEGO® League experience. \n\n\n \nAbout FIRST® LEGO® League & the CANOPY™ Season\n\nFIRST® is the world’s leading youth robotics community\, delivering hands-on STEM learning that inspires innovation\, builds confidence\, and prepares kids for life. In welcoming\, team-based robotics programs\, participants work collaboratively to solve an annual\, themed robotics challenge — and this season\, it’s all about biodiversity. \nNothing on Earth thrives alone. Every gene\, species\, and ecosystem is part of a rich web of biological diversity that powers clean air\, fresh water\, and food. \nWith STEM as their tool and nature as inspiration\, today’s boldest innovators are finding new ways to strengthen the connections that protect our shared home. \nBuilding. Problem solving. Growing stronger through teamwork. Welcome to our 2026–2027 robotics season\, FIRST® CANOPY™. \n\n \nRobo Jam\, Last Year\nA look back at Robo Jam 2 — teams testing robots\, troubleshooting\, and having fun. \n\nTeams fine-tuning their robots on the challenge table.\nCollaborating to code the robot.\nFuture engineers getting excited!
