Future engineers put their robotics skills to the test
Processors, programming and putting together your very own robotic car. It is just a day in the life of youth at UAA's Summer Engineering Program. In this week's spotlight on youth, Channel 2's Ariane Aramburo dropped in on one of the program's last sessions before kids head back to school to see some future engineers hard at work. This little thing can navigate a maze or go around walls and it can do a lot of cool stuff, said 14-year-old Michael Barnes. He's one of many students putting his design to the test. The idea is for his robotic car to navigate a maze by itself. It's supposed to sense the wall, turn left a little then turn back on track, added 17-year old Vihan Garg.
