Thanks to the generosity of the Kahlert Foundation, ARIC has HVAC, allowing us to offer our first year of summer programming. We hope to see you!
Good game on main
Our first Good Game on Main is coming up fast! Join us from 6-8 on Friday, June 27 at ARIC for online, video, and tabletop gaming. Admission is $10. This event is a great way to connect and engage with others who have the same interests while promoting healthy gaming attitudes and sportsmanship.
Makerspace Magic
Our first MakerSpace MAGIC event will be on Monday, June 30th from 10AM – 2PM at ARIC. Plan on stopping by and creating something with us! We will have both free and paid projects available for all ages.
Would you like to participate in a robot sumo wrestling showdown? Build your own robot and take it home? There’s still some spots available for our summer camps and workshops!
Who We ARE
What is ARIC?
The Autonomous Robotics Innovation Center (ARIC) facility in the heart of Westminster, Maryland offers training and hands-on educational opportunities. In addition to technical skills, STEM education fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills, and nurtures students’ natural curiosity.
ARIC is available for weekend clubs, after-school activities, and summer workshops for students.
A COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
The ARIC project in Westminster would not have been possible without the efforts and contributions of our fantastic community partners, sponsors, and volunteers. They have been vital in our fundraising, curriculum and program development, and facility renovation efforts as we continue to develop ARIC into a community hub for innovation and education.
MAGIC is an official partner of the Carroll County Public School system.
