“What I remember most about this week is learning to program robots to do things that I didn’t think were possible”
Name Withheld, Student, AB
 
“The program was excellent. You were organized, prepared and able to trouble shoot both with the technology and the robots in such a way that the students were able to model the corrections as well. This means, you didn’t just fix the problems, you taught the students how to fix the problems.
The robots were user friendly yet challenging for the students to program. It was great how you mixed up the humanoid robots with the hexapods to show the students different types of robots as well.
It was also interesting to learn about the relevance of robotics based on your experience with the conferences you have been to and your expertise with programming.”
Christine Crane, Westmount, Okotoks
