Students at Leslie Middle School got an inside look at the world of robotics during a recent visit from Philip Booth, Assistive Technology Specialist at Ingham ISD. The interactive classroom experience gave students a chance to explore robotics tools, test out tech-based problem-solving, and discover new ways to engage with STEM.
Designed to build confidence and curiosity, the session highlighted the accessibility of robotics at any age or skill level. With bright color-coded coding mats and collaborative activities, students navigated challenges while learning how robotics connects to real-world innovation.
Through these engaging opportunities, Ingham ISD continues to ignite student interest in emerging technologies and future-forward learning.
