The Robodyssey founder, David Piens, held a robotic's workshop in the stem lab on Tuesday afternoon. He's worked extensively as an educator, teaching younger students about robotics and working with teams competing in a multitude of competitions. Just heading into this ourselves, it was great to get an introduction to many of the interesting paths to pursue and resources available. Its given us a lot to think about going forward, from the various platforms to the variety of challenging competitions, especially as we get more advanced builds under our belt.  David Peins is on the left.
