WAIS middle school students participating in after school robotics and Intro to Robotics met with the president of the Education Foundation of Harris County, Douglas Kleiner, as well as several engineers from Amec Foster Wheeler twice this week. Students demonstrated lego-based robots working to complete tasks serving as simulations of actual tasks and projects that AFW and other engineering companies specialize in.
Engineers from Foster Wheeler provided feedback on the student's efforts and shared information about their own careers and projects at AFW.
Interesting article, these kind of activities should happen more often and visits by such people always boost the morale of the students.
