The Robot Group is a local Austin non-profit created for the following goals.
– To offer a framework whereby advanced technology and the arts can be integrated.
– To foster interaction between artists and technologists.
– To create projects which explore the relationship between the arts and technology.
– To combat technophobia through educational outreach, the staging of public events, and youth involvement in The Robot Group technological and artistic projects.

We have a plethora of different exhibits, including a hands-on Robo Spin Art exhibit.

Learn from artist Anna Cragin, who will show you how easy it is to create eco-friendly items for you and your home using simple tools and techniques.

Learn about how all of these materials help in promoting a sustainable future!
