First Session RobotsSecond Session Robots Today I was lucky enough to participate in Gr8 Designs for Gr8 Girls, a program to introduce young women to the interesting side of computer science. I ran two sessions using Lego Mindstorms NXT kits; the girls had to build a robot to activate a Staples That-Was-Easy button. It always amazes me; out of eight groups, we had eight very different robots. To see some close-ups, check out this gallery on flickr.
