The Warren Forest County Higher Education Council School-to-Work program has offered the Lego Robotics program for at least 10 years.

Students in grades five through eight practiced coding and robotics all week. They even witnessed some industrial robots at work.

Students worked in small groups. They had to apply their work at computers to getting their robot through the maze on the floor of the large group instruction room at Warren County Career Center.

“We learned how to build robots, how to program robots, and we got to see real robots at Betts Industries,” Hatch Miller said.

“I liked getting to work with Carson and Addison,” Adalynn Miller said.

Carson Britt was in his third and final year of the program. The experience has advantages.

“We were the first ones to make it through (the maze),” he said.

The students toured Warren County Career Center on Friday.

“We have a whole lot going on with Hi-Ed,” School-to-Work Coordinator Jenny Burroughs said.

In addition to Lego Robotics, School-to-Work also held a Game Design program in the afternoons, according to Burroughs.

Next up, the Hi-Ed Minecraft class returns, also hosted by the career center.

From June 26 through 30, University of Pitt-Bradford men’s basketball coach and former Hi-Ed School-to-Work Coordinator Jesse DeLoof will conduct a basketball camp at the Hub at Praise Fellowship.
