Join the fun at the Robotics Booster Faire [Updated]

Posted on: April 16, 2025

Updated 4/18 @ 4:50 p.m. to indicate that the fair will be held in the WHS gymnasium area.

On May 10^th from 10 am-2 pm at the gymnasium area of Whitewater High School, the Whitewater Unified School District’s Robotics booster club will be hosting the 2^nd Annual Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) Faire to celebrate and support robotics programs across our community.

Organizations from all over the city and state will be there hosting interactive art, science, and technology activities for kids and adults. As just a few examples, at the WOOSH Rocketry booth you can design, build, and launch your own compressed air-powered model rocket. At the US Air Force booth, you can learn about drones in combat and try your hand at flying in a flight simulator. At the UW-Whitewater’s Media Arts and Game Development booth you can beta test video games and experience virtual reality. With dozens of exciting exhibitors, you can freeze dry candy, make your own jewelry, carve a walking stick, drive a robot, frost cookies, 3D print a fidget, make your own ice cream, pet a real axolotl, and so much more! The fair is a fun filled, all ages family event- with face painting, a bounce house, a giant obstacle course, and free books and puzzles to take home. Kids and adults from age 2 to 102 will all have a great time! The event is free with a donation for the Lakeland Animal Shelter (shelter staff will be at the faire with adoptable puppies and kittens to cuddle).

An exciting addition to this year’s event is the LEGO build competition for children in K-12 grade sponsored by Lake Home Info, LLC. Children can build their own LEGO creations, exhibit their work at the faire, and receive amazing LEGO kit prizes for their designs. To learn more please visit: https://forms.gle/jpMyfqvJYZ89geg4A.

Robotics is a wonderful opportunity for children in our district, but it is a very costly sport.

The booster club works to offset costs for all the teams and to ensure that every interested student can participate regardless of family income level. We are proud to share that in 2025 the booster club will be funding a scholarship for a graduating high school senior.

We look forward to seeing you at the fair. We are thrilled to have the following exhibitors joining us this year!
