Register Your School or Youth Group

This event is located at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Halls B & C, 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Upon arrival, enter through the East Lobby entrance and proceed up the escalator. Follow signs for Pittsburgh Robotics Discovery Day (Hall B and C).

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.

Student groups must register in advance using the school group registration form  so that our team can plan in advance for your arrival.

We discourage bringing large groups of students under the age of 14, as available activities may not be ideal for young children.

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 the correct number of responsible adults.

Buses may drop off and pick up students at the East Lobby on 10th Street. Once inside the East Lobby, take the escalator up to the second floor and follow signs for Hall B and C.

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

There will be a sectioned off area where schools may store lunches. Schools must bring lunches in a container (i.e. basket, rubbermaid, box, etc) so that your school’s lunches are grouped together. You may store your container in the designated area while you explore the floor, and retrieve them at lunch time. Please take your containers with you when you leave the Convention Center. No shoes, jackets, backpacks or other personal items will be permitted in this area.

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.

Note: No restaurant food will be allowed onsite, per Convention Center rules.

A concession stand run and managed by the Convention Center will also be available from 10AM - 3PM. Be aware that if a student wants to purchase anything at the Convention Center, it is a cashless facility. Accepted forms of payment are Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and Apple Pay. The average lunch cost is approx $15.00 (prices determined by the Convention Center).

Teachers must register their schools via the Robotics Discovery Day School Group Registration Form. Student names are not required, however we need an accurate count for how many students and chaperones are attending.

Most groups will stay for approximately two hours to get the full experience. School groups with students under the age of 18 are encouraged to limit attendance to the 9:00 am to 12:00 pm timeframe.

Schools bringing high school aged students can request transportation reimbursement via the Robotics Discovery Day School Group Registration Form. Reimbursement of up to $400 may be available for groups of 20+ students. Someone from our team will follow up with next steps after you complete the form.

Video footage and photos will be taken during this event, which may or may not include your recognizable image. Please be advised, by registering for this event, you permit the Pittsburgh Robotics Network (PRN) to use the images in print, digital or web-based formats in publications or other media material produced, used or contracted by the PRN for promotional and/or archival purposes.
