A total of 13 high school students are spending the week assembling and programming robots to complete the maze. The students program the robots with artificial intelligence to control movement. Funding for the camp, the UHV/Victoria College Math & Computer Science Awareness Day and a semester-long robotics course is provided by a $20,000 grant from Alcoa Foundation. The camp concludes Friday with a trip to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. |
