From ARVP
To thank the community for supporting the project and to further public interest in technology and robotics, the ARVP has included in its mandate a program of community service. Currently, the ARVP Outreach team conducts a number of speaking and hands-on activities each year for groups of up to forty students from grades kindergarten through twelve. Students are always thrilled when Bear Cub or Kodiak drops by their school for a visit. The Outreach team has also spoken to University of Alberta alumni and has been visible at many community events around Edmonton.
In November of 2006, the ARVP hosted a trilobot building event, where 30 lucky student from around Edmonton came to the University of Alberta to build their own ARVP-designed autonomous robot. Find out all about it here
If you have an idea for an outreach event, we'd like to hear from you.
