Enjoy a free screening of the movie "The Wild Robot" and stay to learn how to use Spheros and Ozobots.

"The Wild Robot" stars Lupita Nyong'o as Roz, a robot that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually Roz starts building relationships with the animals on the island, including a clever fox voiced by Pedro Pascal, and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill. "The Wild Robot" is a powerful story about self-discovery, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature, and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things. Rated PG.
