Looking to further spread robotics and encourage interest in engineering, Martin County KnowHow (MCKH) has seen continued growth with its youth robotics program.
It, in collaboration with Project 1590, holds a VEX Robotics camp in the fall for fifth and sixth graders and in the spring for third and fourth graders. In the fall, 60 students attended, while in the spring, 81 students attended. Last Saturday, the students from Fairmont, Truman, Granada-Huntley-East Chain and Martin County West showcased their skills.
“The robot pieces are like Legos,” MCKH Board Member Sam Viesselman said. “You also have a wireless controller, a [robot] brain, and a bunch of motors and sensors the kids can use to build their robot.”
