Refugee Education Center
Our team has volunteered at our local refugee education center multiple times this year. We have helped the kids by first teaching them how to program one of our team members by having them write down instructions to direct our team member through a maze of chairs. We then teach them how to build and program COR3 robots after we teach them the basics of programing using the maze activity. |
