So this past week was spent teaching kids robotics. At my school volunteers would come and be couselors and teach the campers how to build a trebuchet (a catapult that works using counter wieghts and gravity) and also a robot that pops baloons. On Friday there was a small competition against the robots and my camper won. I mean the robot was a beast; it had spikes and used pneumatics to bring an arm down that would pop every balloon in its way.
Additionally in the afternoons after camp, we would help this group of kids that are part of a program for low income students. Another member of my team took place in this but more invovled with the afternoon program. All in all it was a fun week and the students were all very nice so it was a good experience. Also, being able to teach other people engineering skills is really important.
