Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) May 04, 2016 - Living Advantage, Inc. is excited to announce the Second Annual "Intro to Robo" - a carnival based around the introduction to robotics for Foster Youth. The event will be held at the famous USC Galen Center, home of Nickelodeon "Kid's Choice Awards" and Microsoft's XBOX Video Game Awards. Join us as we reach out to at-risk and foster youth in our underserved communities.

"Intro to Robo" is a fun, exciting, and interesting introduction to the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.). Our goal is to not only to introduce these fields and concepts, but demonstrate how they can be applied in schools, careers, and beyond. Children of all ages, family and friends are welcome to enjoy a hands-on experience in the exciting world of robotics.

We are also excited to announce that U.S. Representative Karen Bass will be one of our featured guests attending "Intro to Robo" Congresswoman Bass has been a longtime supporter of Living Advantage and the foster youth we serve. Her dedication to representing underserved youth is an inspiration to Living Advantage, and we look forward to hearing her speak about how she's addressing the struggles that our youth face.

In addition, Kevin Kim, from the MAD MAC Foundation will be joining us at "Intro to Robo." Entertainment and music will be provided and sponsored by his non-profit foundation, MAD MAC. He will provide his inspiration via storytelling that is relatable and "keeps it real." In addition to Kim, MAD MAC Foundation/IS5 Technologies Co-Founder Iddris Sandu will be speaking. He is an eighteen-year old technologist, entrepreneur, and engineer, who was recently awarded the Boys and Girls Club's "Youth of the Year." We hope he'll motivate our youth to recognize and pursue their potential just as he has.

TV personality and Life Coach Cindy Martinez of TV network Telemundo, will also be making an appearance! Initially working 13 years as a television host for Spanish-American media giant, Cindy Martinez has lately found satisfaction in helping many families and also the less fortunate as a life coach - motivating those to always rebound after failure, improve their self-image, and most importantly, to believe in them themselves. Cindy's next exciting venture is a conference called Integrate: Mind, Body, Soul, and we excitedly anticipate her motivating people of all kinds for times to come.

Lastly, we will be introducing Mike Robinson (a.k.a."Big Mike Rob"), an executive with more than 20 years of experience in the music industry and who now specializes in Artist Management, Coaching & Consulting, Music Marketing, among other things.
