Maine Robotics Camp featured on WABI
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the Maine Robotics Camp being held at the University of Maine. The camp is designed for children who are 9 to 12 years old and have no technical experience. Participants start out learning basic principles about design and finish with building a simple robot from scratch, according to the report. The goal of the camp is to inspire children to consider a career in a technical trade, the report states. Maine Robotics is a nonprofit that partners with UMaine’s College of Engineering, the Maine 4-H program, University of Southern Maine, Girl Scouts of Maine, Maine Maritime Academy and the University of Maine at Farmington’s Department of Computer Science.
