Robotics Program
Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. It involves programmable mechanical devices that perform tasks and interact with their environment without the aid of human control. Robotics is the science and technology behind the design, manufacturing and application of robots.
The goal of the Robotics Program is to increase the motivation of upper elementary, junior high, and high school students to excel in math and science. Through hands-on learning experiences building and programming robots, students will be better-prepared college and future careers in Engineering, Pre-Med, Computer Science and Education. Technology has become a vehicle for reaching not only the top students but also students that might not otherwise be interested in math and science unless they can see an exciting, real-life application for the acquired knowledge.
