NextGen Education And Research Robotics Summit

On March 10th, 2011 Robotics Trends will be hosting the NextGen Education & Research Robotics Virtual Summit. This year’s summit will focus on the use of robotics to accelerate learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among K-12 and college-level students. Of course, RobotShop will be attending and we would be very glad if you came by to visit us at our booth.
