PokeBot V6.01 Technology Event Scheduled Feb. 6 at UW

PokeBot V6.01, a “Pokes doing strange things with technology” event, is scheduled from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6, at the University of Wyoming.

PokeBot V6.01 will be in the Information Technology Center atrium -- home of the UW Innovation Network (UWIN) Make-IT makerspace. The free public event is a hacker, maker, creative series that features innovative UW students, faculty and staff, and members of the public.

“If something creative, unique and maker-like is happening in Laramie, then you can expect to learn more about it at PokeBot,” says Jane Crayton, UWIN makerspace coordinator.
