Outreach: College of Education, Boys and Girls Club host robotics camp for elementary school students
This past summer, 12 first-grade students participated in a robotics camp run by graduate students and faculty in the Mary Frances Early College of Education’s Department of Educational Theory and Practice in partnership with staff at the Boys and Girls Club at H.T. Edwards.
Running from July 8-17, the two-week camp was regularly attended by 12 students from the Athens area and introduced them to new terms, like “engineer” and “debugging,” new skills about STEM, like programming and sequencing, and strengthened their communication skills.
