Brentwood's River Rescue Mission!
On November 12th, thirty of our Grade 8 students will attend a robotics workshop at the University of Victoria. During the morning session, they will build robots out of Lego. In the afternoon, they will program these robots to rescue people (marbles) and transport them safely across a "river."
During this workshop students will: See a demo of a robot puppy Build a basic robot with instructions in teams Devise a system to safely carry the rescued "people" across the river Program robots to perform the job Demo robots to the rest of the class Learn about careers in engineering and computer science and how to get there! This event is being offered by UVic's Women in Engineering and Computer Science. More information about this group is available here: http://wcs.csc.uvic.ca/
