“Arrive ten minutes early to secure a seat at the maker table.”
What is Teen: Build a Brushbot? This is a hands-on engineering workshop where middle and high school students construct miniature, vibrating robots out of household items and toothbrush heads. What to Know: The program is designed specifically for students in grades 6 through 12. It takes place on Monday evening at the Northeast Regional Library in Raleigh, and there is no cost to attend. All building materials are provided, and the library offers plenty of free parking in its main lot. You do not need to bring any tools, but arriving a few minutes early ensures your teen gets a spot at the work tables. This event makes a smart weekday addition to your calendar because it gives older kids a dedicated space to create, experiment, and socialize without younger siblings around.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
