Automation Workz  is a live family video game,  powered by a scavenger hunt app, where families compete by solving challenging hands-on invention, electronics, programming, 3D design, spatial reasoning, mathematical, robotic and automotive activities.

Automation Workz is the ultimate Maker Parent Career Exploration Workshop. Families created geometric structures with the 3-D Printing Pen, programmed the Cargo Robot, simulated being an entrepreneur, simulated operation of a welding robot, examined car engines, detailed car underbodies, reviewed car marketing features, answered career exploration questions, discussed current job/ apprentice opportunities while having fun and winning prizes.
