Jan 2, 2012 update: Terry mentions that IIT has offered Chibots an entire room! Let's create a mini pavilion!

This expo is a learning experience for the attendees. Let's have some fun! <end update>

The Science Night at Westmore team has kindly invited Chibots to come and participate in their Science Night 2012. There will be an entire gym and hallway reserved for this event. The area will be filled with science projects stations that will provide demonstrations and hand-on activities. The following description was sent by one of the organizers:
