ART-BOTS @ WESTERN!


Grade 9 students enrolled in Western Technical-Commercial School’s Enriched/Gifted, CyberARTS, and Robotics programs participated in a fun and  innovative pre-holiday learning workshop this December 17th -- making robots that draw.

The three specialized programs joined forces to bring in visual artist Kristen Keller, who assisted students in designing artistic robots from recycled materials. The workshop, which combines the science of robotics with the creativity of art, provided a unique and engaging forum in which the students were able to build simple kinetic machines, and with them created a collaborative piece of art.

 
The event will be featured on a January edition of Rogers TV’s High School Rush. 

Stay tuned for details!
