The Lab, the Marin City Library’s new creative studio, offered a summer camp this week to teach youths about robotics.
The 20-hour program by TinkerTech started Monday and ends Friday. Computer-science instructors provided participants with lessons in building, programming and entrepreneurship.
The TinkerTech programs are geared to students age 8 to 11. Similar programs have been scheduled this summer in Marinwood, Terra Linda, Novato and Ross.
