Build a Robot with Minds in Motion

The latest series of programs added to our youth activities is Minds in Motion! Your 7-12 year old won’t want to miss out on our RE/CO Robot course, where your child will build and take home their own robot!

This mechanical off-roading adventure will run 5:30-6:30 p.m. Mondays, Feb. 28-April 4, at the Kirksey Recreation Center. It includes an infrared sensor and artificial intelligence, all programmed and directed via both your child’s verbal commands and wireless remote control. Space is limited, so sign up today!

We’re less than one month away from Healthy Livonia’s 100 Days to Health kickoff event 9 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 27. Make sure you don’t let those New Years resolutions fade away as you try to be the healthiest you possible.

Sign up and attend hundreds of fun classes, educational seminars and events through June 5, as well as the optional weight loss challenge for your chance to win a variety of prizes. Take a glimpse at the schedule for the kickoff event, or visit Livonia.gov/1859 to see the full list of daily programs.
