Mr. Roboto
On Wednesday, October 18, students enjoyed a robotics presentation sponsored by the PTO. During an interactive journey from simple robots to complex humanoid robots, students explored STEM concepts and learned about electricity, programming, motors, and feedback loops. Thanks to the PTO for providing another informative and entertaining enrichment program!
