Xerox Science Consulting Program

My supervisor, Mike (he's the only other guy in the last picture), is involved with Xerox's Science Consulting Program, which goes into a school and does a lesson on some science subject about once a month. I tagged along a couple weeks ago and helped the kids program a robot to transverse a track they constructed. They wrote commands like turn_right and forward_5x. Whenever a group's program worked the whole room of third graders cheered loudly.


Crossing fingers hoping it works


Robot navigating the path


And it succeeds
