Education On Air Robotics Session

We had a blast presenting at the inaugural Google Education on Air Conference. There were so many great sessions I found it difficult to leave one to check out another.

The session I hosted was entitled, Building Tomorrow's Innovators and Leaders with Robotics and it was great to see so many students, teachers, administrators, and parents turn up to learn or share their experiences on how robotics has impacted their lives.

Watch the session at the conference page or below, you can check out all of the Education on Air sessions at the Google in Education YouTube page.

The best part is Hangouts On Air, the ability to record your hangout and invite an unlimited number of people to watch is now available for anyone so now you can host your very own conference (or un-conference) without needing to leave your home.

If you are interested in starting a robotics team or finding out more, you can check out the comments from the conference but I have pasted many of them below.

Teams represented in the hangout

The Holy Cows - Team 1538, Mentor: David Berggren
