SeaPerch Demonstration at RoboBoat
Students from area high schools will showcase SeaPerches they have built in demonstrations held in conjunction with the RoboBoat Competition. SeaPerch is a perfect entry point into robotics for late elementary and middle school students. Visitors will not only learn more about SeaPerch but will see where an interest in robotics can take students as their skills advance.
