At the event, the kids took part in various STEM projects, including building a robot and racing it through a maze.

Amazon also donated $10,000 to Sutter Children’s Center at Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Medical Center.

Throughout the month of September — which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month — Amazon is shipping packages in special boxes toting gold ribbons, the symbol of childhood cancer. The e-commerce giant also plans to team up with the American Childhood Cancer Association for an initiative dubbed Why Not Kids to bridge the funding gap between childhood and adult cancers.
