Booz Allen Hamilton hosted a science expo for FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) participants in collaboration with FIRST, AARP, and the US Patent and Trademark Office. Kids explored the topic of aging by talking to experts and participating in hands-on activities simulating aging challenges like loss of mobility, vision, and dexterity.
More than 600 people from DC, Maryland, and Virginia participated in the event including attendees, exhibitors, and Booz Allen volunteers.
