Re: Does robotics attract the right students?

I find it very rewarding to look at the collection of students in our shop and seeing students who are enrolled and succeeding in multiple AP classes working hand in hand with "at risk students" who are struggling to get through high school on a standard diploma.

Do they all want to be engineers? No, but many of them want to go into technical fields and providing them the opportunity to be exposed to project design and management before college is awesome.
