Tacoma Robot Expo
Join us for the Tacoma Robot Expo presented by TAPCO Credit Union
TAPCO Credit Union is partnering with students and educators from IDEA High School to present the first annual Tacoma Robot Expo, a free, family-friendly event designed to spark curiosity and showcase how technology is shaping the future right here in our community.
The Tacoma Robot Expo brings together students, educators, local organizations, and technology leaders to give kids of all ages the chance to explore robotics, artificial intelligence, and drone technology through hands-on demonstrations and interactive exhibits.
This event is open to the public and welcomes students, families, and anyone interested in learning more about careers and opportunities in STEM fields.
What to Expect
Visitors will have the opportunity to see and interact with a wide range of robotics and technology demonstrations, including:
• Boston Dynamics Spot robot dogs
• R2-D2 droids
• Bomb disposal robots used by the Tacoma Police Department
• Indoor flyable drones
• Competitive robots built by students from IDEA High School and the University of Washington
• Kid-friendly activities, vendors, and interactive demonstrations
The expo is designed to help students see how technology connects to real-world careers and how innovation is happening locally, not just somewhere else.
