Penn High School will host a Robotics Fair this coming Saturday.

The event will take place outside, in front of Door D at the high school.

The fair will include an -“adapt-a-thon” that centers around the creation and distribution of adapted toys for children with disabilities.

The Robotics Fair will also offer non-contact games and activities for children and their families, including Giant Tic-Tac-Toe, Catapult Cornhole, 3-Cup Monte, Pyramid Takedown and a Build-a-Bot station.

Penn High School released the following information about the event:
