Track 2:
Robotics Engineering
Imagine a Robot…
Participants will work in pairs using Lego Robot Kits to program a robot to perform a task that represents how robotics can be used towards accomplishing a UN sustainable development goal! For example, Imagine a robot… that could collect trash for Goal 15 Life on Land! Participants will make a TikTok video or Instagram video talking about what their robot can do! Participants will learn how to program an XRP robot and work in teams, and have a chance to see a teleoperated humanoid robot demo from the Human Inspired Robotics Lab.
