An Over Coffee® special-edition episode
National Robotics Week is coming up, April 4-12, 2026!
This is a national celebration of the robotics industry, our future innovators--and, of course, the educators who make this innovation possible.
On the National Robotics Week website, you'll find all kinds of robot-related activities and resources. These include upcoming robotics events by state, robotics activity sheets, and even AI experiments, provided by Google! And you are welcome to submit your own robot-related event, as well.
And Over Coffee® is proud to spotlight three innovators who are inspiring students to explore how robotics fit into their interests--and their futures!
The history
National Robotics Week, according to their website, was first implemented in 2010, with 50 robot-related events around the U.S., after the 2009 passage of resolution H.Res. 1055, by the U.S. House of Representatives.
This resolution designates a full week in April as National Robotics Week.
As of 2017, National Robotics Week included more than 300 events across all 50 United States.
While events are still being registered for 2026, a quick check of the website revealed ten pages of approximately 150 events, nationwide, so far.
Meanwhile, on this special-edition show, we explore the ways robotics are really for everyone.
Here are NoireSTEMinist® educator/engineer and entrepreneur (and author!) Dr. Carlotta Berry, VEX Robotics Vice-President of Global Strategy, educator and author Jason McKenna, and Unified Robotics founder and executive director Delaney Locher, to showcase three different aspects of educational robotics.
