We presented a workshop at the Women's Empowerment Conference (WE Con). The workshop combined robotics with hands-on activities to teach participants the importance of maintaining their mental health. Participants learned to program robots to follow a path upon which materials for the activities were placed. Sample activities include creating anxiety jars and making paper cranes.

This annual conference is presented every spring by the Women's Community Center of Central Texas. WE Con strives to be a welcoming community event where women, girls, femmes, and those who care about them can share knowledge and insights, build community, and find self-empowerment.
