New exhibit at OH WOW! opens
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – If you're looking for something to do on Easter break with the kids, head downtown to OH WOW!
The new second floor and exhibit are now open.
'Yeah, we had first robotics with our friends from Austintown here a couple of weeks ago when we opened the floor. So they were in the new technology hub, which also has our robot, Pepper. and our goal is to engage with the community, and really try to bring in some area robotics teams, maybe some drone teams, so they can start to engage with some of those younger learners and inspire the next generation of robotics teams here in the Mahoning Valley,' Executive Director Katie Detoro said.
A tour from West Branch took part on Thursday in the new maze and explored the technology center. DeToro says robotics clubs from local schools are using the facility.
OH WOW! is celebrating its 14th birthday in early May.
