4th & 5th Graders Create Robots to Simulate Hazardous Material Retrieval in a Devastation

Posted on 10/16/2015

4th and 5th graders at New Century are taking on a robotic challenge as they have taken a base robot, then modified it to meet the challenge set forth by their teacher, Mrs. Konop. The students were tasked with modifying their robots to simulate a real-life situation of going into hazardous areas to retrieve information or hazardous waste. Students remotely operated their robot to retrieve "hazardous waste" (in this case, some classroom blocks) in an area to simulate the earthquake/tsunami in Japan a few years ago.

Check out the students in photos below, or watch a few of them IN ACTION with these videos:
