Podcast 305 – How Saint Luke’s Pumpkin Patch Powers Dunwoody Robotics – Emmy Knight & Paige Holliman The Pumpkin Patch at Saint Luke’s isn’t just a fall photo op. It’s the main fundraiser for Dunwoody High’s Wildcat5e Robotics team. Student leader Emmy Knight and parent volunteer Paige Holliman explain how this small but mighty team builds 100+ pound robots and competes across Georgia, all powered by community support. Every October, thousands of pumpkins take over the lot at 1978 Mount Vernon Road. Families come for the face painting, bounce house, yard games, and sand art. They stick around for the friendly vibe and a peek downstairs, where the team is hard at work. Visitors can watch the robot in progress and even try driving a demo bot. With prices that won’t break the bank and plenty of extras to keep kids busy, it’s an easy stop that supports local students doing big things. It’s also a great way to spark curiosity in young engineers who want to see what robotics is all about. Whether you’re new to Dunwoody or just looking for a reason to swing by, this is one fall tradition that gives back. Open daily 11 to 7 through Halloween.
