Learning about robotics was fun. Russ showed me how approachable the subject can be because, honestly, I had been a little nervous. I had never been exposed to anything like this.
Russ grabbed the attention of some kids in the library when he drove the remote controlled robot out there. It has a seat for a flip camera that takes videos while the robot is driving. The kids loved driving that thing and we played the video back to them so they could see themselves on it. I loved watching Russ interact with the kids. One boy wouldn’t even leave when his friends kept trying to get him to play football. It was great to see him so excited about the activity.
All of these training sessions have made me more confident about new technology and interacting with young people. I loved visiting ImaginOn. The atmosphere is so fun. I can’t wait to bring some of that back to the Davidson branch. Thanks everyone for teaching me so much. I’d especially like to thank Kelly for orchestrating the whole thing!
