CMRA Visits Spectrum Charter School
February 14, 2020, MONROEVILLE, PA - The Robotics Academy team spent some time speaking to the students over at the Spectrum Charter School about “What is a robot?” and discussing what makes a robot, a robot! 32 students participated in the discussion and provided their own insights and experiences with robots. “Robots could be anything!”, exclaimed one student when asked what they think a robot looks like.The students were then given a chance to compete in a mini-challenge involving VEX EDR V5 robots. The students paired up in teams, and were given 60 seconds to pick up as many cubes as possible and place them into their “team’s” bin.
The Spectrum Charter School teaches students aged 13-21.
