RobotParade set to stroll through Lawrence Tech on Saturday
Robots aren’t exactly taking over Lawrence Technological University, but they will be parading through the Southfield-based school’s campus like they own the place Saturday. Lawrence Tech will host the third annual Thanksgiving RoboParade between 9:30 a.m. and noon. The parade will consist of robot floats made by middle and high school students from across Michigan, following a mock Woodward Avenue parade route. Students operating the robots are coming from the likes of University of Detroit Jesuit, the Roeper School, United Christian School in Garden City, ACE in Livonia, Digital Arts and Sciences Academy and Macomb Christian Schools. The idea behind the event is to help interest a new generation of students in robotics and computer programming. To see what last year’s RoboParade looked like, click here. The free indoor autonomous robot demonstration will take place in the Buell Management Building cafeteria, 21000 West Ten Mile Road. Source: Lawrence Technological University Writer: Jon Zemke
