Robotics Program Provides Hands-On Learning for ESHS Students

Beginning in 2006, a portion of the ESEF grant to the El Segundo Unified School District was designated to support a robotics program that would attract students to careers in aerospace, science and engineering. As part of the program, a team of ESHS students and volunteer mentors from local corporations invests six intense weeks to build a functional robot for entry into a local competition. In only the second year of the program, last year's team won Rookie of the Year.
