Pittsburgh Robotics Discovery Day is designed with a business and career focus, and the on-site demonstrations and experiences are best suited for high school-aged students to interact with.

Large student groups (15 or more) may register in advance using the school group registration form so that our team can plan in advance for your arrival.

However, we discourage bringing large groups of students under the age of 14, as available activities may not be ideal for young children without adequate adult supervision.

This event is open to all ages and if you are planning to bring younger children, please be sure they are directly accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult.

We do not provide dedicated bus parking arrangements. You may contact the David L. Lawrence Convention Center directly HERE to inquire further about parking options.

Schools may bring packed lunches. Please bring a large container to store your lunches in, and label it with your school’s name. There will be an area onsite to store your bins.
