The ROBOTALES Automation Archives is under attack! For years, the librarians, computer scientists, and storytellers at Automation Archives have been collecting all the stories ever told on PLANET-CodeX in order to protect these stories for future generations to read and learn from. But now the future of these stories is under threat as EvilCorp prepares to force a global system purge of these stories. The SHTEAM Punks are looking for a new generation of Memory Keepers to protect robotic history by saving these stories and writing new ones. In this high-stakes camp, you’ll master “The Spike” (Robotic Engineering) and the craft of “The Script” (creative storytelling) to build an unhackable performance. From Robot Cosplay to advanced programming, help us ensure our stories survive the corporate blackout. Will your tale survive the wipe?

To Be Disclosed
RoboTales is the embodiment of the interdisciplinary, narrative-driven SHTEAM learning we want to champion. A formal partnership offers a "high-impact, low-cost" way for TWU to:
Champion True SHTEAM Integration: By seamlessly fusing "The Spike" (Robotics Engineering) with "The Script" (Creative Storytelling), RoboTales provides a masterclass in the 4 C’s—Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking. It proves to students that technical skills and creative arts are not mutually exclusive, making engineering accessible to creative minds and storytelling vital to technical minds.
Build a Dynamic K-12 Pipeline: This high-stakes, gamified camp instantly captures the imagination of upper elementary and middle school students. By hosting these young "Archivists" on campus, we introduce them to our brand and facilities early, positioning TWU as the destination of choice for the next generation of innovative, forward-thinking digital creators.
Provide High-Value Mentorship Pathways: This partnership opens up powerful service-learning and experiential opportunities. University students or local educators can step into the story as "Lead Archivists," gaining invaluable, hands-on experience in project management, advanced technical instruction, and narrative-driven curriculum delivery.
Cultivate Unique Community Connections: Offering a cutting-edge, high-concept program like RoboTales strengthens vital "town-and-gown" relationships. It provides local families—including our own faculty and staff—with an elite, highly engaging summer option that directly answers the modern workforce's demand for interdisciplinary problem-solvers.
