We were able to get some VEX robotics kits on loan, and students built robots and used their programming skills to make them move and respond to the environment using sensors! They presented their work at the American Indian Science and Engineering Society national conference this fall. Students also applied this year to start a FIRST robotics team and take their learning even further.
