Robotics

Robotics is an opportunity where we engage, enrich, and empower students to see themselves as someone who could excel in STEAM education and future careers.  The first 5 weeks are slotted for S-T-E-A-M specific topics, the last 5 weeks are devoted to working on Nebraska Robotics Expo events in teams, so the final day is like a mini-Expo where these girls-only teams will be invited to participate in the Nebraska Robotics Expo. Kennedy's participation in the Nebraska Robotics Expo provides a unique opportunity for our students.
