Description:
Prof. Zunino from the University of Genoa, with support from MERL Researcher Diego Romeres, organized a robotic workshop that introduced 6th-8th grade students from the greater Boston area to the fundamentals of robotics. The workshop provided students with hands-on experience in robotic technology using LEGO systems. Participants learned key principles of robotics, teamwork, and project planning. They worked collaboratively to design, program using visual-based software, and solve challenges as field engineers.
The workshop event was part of the Festival of Italian Creativity organized by the Italian consulate to honor the naming of Boston as a Capital of Italian Creativity. -
