Robotics Science Camp Week

This has been an incredible week at Galatas!  Science Camp week is always so much fun, very interesting and teaches us all!

On Monday, students from College Park High School came to Galatas for a presentation with their robot!  They are a part of a group called Texas Torque.  Their robot was programmed to move around, pick up basket balls and even shoot baskets!

We also had Police Officers from the Houston Police Department visit.  They brought in robots used to find bombs and suspicious packages and take care of them safely.
