It was fascinating to watch the kids put together their robots, use the computer to make them move, and see a different future with technology. I spoke to one of the professors and asked if he often did workshops like this one.

For him, youth and technology are the future. Therefore, youth must be excited by and taught how to use technology. He makes it his goal to lead workshops like this in any underserved school with a computer. After witnessing the workshop it is very clear that the children were excited by the possibility of returning to the computer lab to learn more about technology.

Point Lobos SoccerWhen grad students need to relax, we play soccer on the beach…and it’s very serious! The primary spectators of this game were sea lions and sea otters at Point Lobos. A few dolphins even stopped by to check out the action.
