Today, July 30th, 2012, our robotics mentors began their training for ARX 2012. During the one-week training programme mentors will receive instruction in robotics, how to be effective academic mentors and work to develop social programs for the ARX 2012 participants who are arriving next week.
“We are already learning a lot already,” say two mentors, Delphina Kyeremanteng ’13 and Nana Ama Marfo ’13. “As Business Administration majors, getting to program and build robots is fun and challenging, and the whole experience feels exciting already!”
“I think next week is going to be fun,” says Dr. Ayorkor Korsah, lead faculty organizer of the ARX programme. “The participating students are from very diverse backgrounds, in terms of their prior robotics experience, the regions they are from and other factors.”
