Join author Jaylene Clark Owens as she pens an ode to Black girls and braids, a dynamic duo. This empowering picture book shines a light on what braids mean to Black girls of all ages and shows how Black communities have managed to continuously make space for braids, paying homage to their origins while making fun and futuristic styles, despite rules and regulations attempting to condemn them.

January Workshop continues to focus on movement and safety. Beginners continue by connecting motors to the hub and learn how to control speed, direction, and stopping on simple tracks, combining motors with color sensors to trigger actions like slowing down at “warning” colors or stopping at a “red light.” They see how small changes in code affect how smoothly and safely their robots move.
Advanced learners build on this by adding force sensors to simulate safety features such as bump detection, collision alerts, and emergency stops when a robot encounters an obstacle. They experiment with scenarios where the robot must react quickly and reliably to keep “passengers” and surroundings safe.
Both tracks emphasize real-world parallels to traffic systems, vehicle automation, and automotive safety, helping learners connect their projects to self-driving cars, factory robots, and everyday transportation systems.
This workshop is FREE, and all materials are provided.
Beginner Track- Motor Control & Path Programming
Beginners continue building confidence by connecting motors and programming vehicles to respond to color-coded tracks, such as stopping at red, slowing at warning colors, and accelerating on green.
Materials Required
Laptop or tablet with SPIKE app installed
LEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and color sensor
Colored paper strips or tracks
Beginner Track Learning Outcomes
Connect Motors Correctly: Learners will configure hub ports for proper motor function.
Program If Statements: Students will change robot behavior based on track colors.
Use Loops for Monitoring: Learners will apply forever loops for continuous responses.
Adjust Speed and Direction: Students will fine-tune vehicle performance on tracks.
Compare to Traffic Systems: Learners will relate programming to real-world signals.
Advanced Track- Force Sensors in Vehicle Safety & Automation
Advanced learners explore the LEGO force sensor, building safety routines that simulate bumper systems and emergency responses.
Materials Required
Laptop or tablet with SPIKE app installed
LEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and force sensor
Barrier setup for testing
Advanced Track Learning Outcomes
Explain Force Sensors: Students will describe how force sensors measure pressure.
Simulate Vehicle Safety: Learners will program bump detection and auto-stop systems.
Integrate Sensors with Motors: Students will create reactive safety programs.
Design Escape Behaviors: Learners will code robots to reroute when trapped.
Connect to Real Safety Systems: Students will link robotics learning to airbags, brakes, and crash detection.

Divesting from the Algorithms: A #BlackDirectory Creator Showcase is a public exhibition that proposes the need for internet users to divest from algorithmic recommendations systems. Instead, by engaging in content curation, we can explore new, more critical and communal relationships with digital content. This event aims to educate attendees about algorithmic bias while facilitating space for creators and audiences to interrogate their experiences with algorithmically distributed content and bridge the knowledge gap between creators and audiences. The exhibition invites attendees to physically walk through a curation of videos from the directory and invites creators to lead discussion panels about their experience with content creation and consumption.
The exhibition is taking place at the Haugabrooks Art Gallery on Auburn Avenue from January 30 - February 1, 2026 with the opening reception is taking place on Friday January 30th from 5-9pm. The panel discussion portion of the opening reception will begin at 6pm with a short presentation about algorithmic bias into a discussion and a Q&A session.
