Their button designs include team logos, robotics jokes, pride flags, and pronoun buttons. It's an amazing way to show their inclusive spirit and love of robotics.\r\n\r\nThis year, we even used our button maker at our Family STEAM Night event to give young children the chance to color and create their own buttons.
