Event Preview

WWFIRST volunteers and teams had a great time at KW Oktoberfest this year! It was great to show off the hard work of our teams to a larger audience, and we think they all had fun too! Playing pass with robots is an amazing way to spend some time at this great event. If you were there, you may even have gotten a glimpse of us taking our robots for a wander down the street to have a look at the vendors – especially the pretzels!
