In this activity, students will form teams to design a robot with the provided supplies. The teams will then compete with their designed robots to see which robot can cross the finish line first. Through this activity, students will learn the components of a robot and how they are used from day-to-day activities to industry applications.
Columbia Engineering Outreach Programs aim to provide greater accessibility to academic and professional opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, especially for traditionally underrepresented local stakeholders. Through community engagement, we enhance the quality and reach of learning at all levels.
