In a bid to inspire young minds and foster innovation, Google is spearheading a groundbreaking children’s robotics workshop in Berkeley County, South Carolina. The two-day event, hosted at Westview Middle School in Goose Creek, aims to equip over 100 students from various schools across the county with essential skills and practical experience in the field of robotics.
During the workshop, students will be divided into teams, encouraging collaboration and teamwork. Their primary objective will be to construct a robot from scratch, followed by engaging in exhilarating driving and programming challenges. This hands-on approach will not only provide participants with a strong foundation in robotics but also nurture their problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
Paving the way for a dynamic conclusion, a friendly competition will be held on the second day of the workshop, allowing students to showcase their newly acquired skills in a fun and competitive setting. The event promises to be an exciting platform for creativity, innovation, and healthy rivalry among the students.
The presence of Google representatives, including Amber Tillman, the Head of Economic and Community Development for Google Data Centers, and Dawn Kuenzi, the Program Manager for Google Student Inclusion Programs, further adds to the significance of the workshop. Their valuable insights and guidance will serve as catalysts for the students’ personal and academic growth in the ever-evolving field of technology.
Through initiatives like these, Google is actively investing in the future of Berkeley County’s young talent. By providing them with exposure and hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies, the workshop aims to empower students and inspire them to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
