Participated in “College for a Day” event on Saturday, 5/16/2015, 8:30am-4:30pm. 19 students

from several middle schools attended. In this robotics program, in the morning I showed them

demo of the egg hunt robotic competition, have them do experiments learning the Handyboard.

In the afternoon, they started programming Handyboard and built their robot with legos.

Organizing final robotic competition for ECE564, Fund. of Autonomous Robots, every Fall

semester. For this event, we invite more than hundred students from several middle and

elementary schools. They all join us to watch the Robo-Pong, Egg-Hunt and Treasure Hunt

final robotic competitions. The last event was held on Dec. 14th, 2016. Since 2005, most likely

more than one thousand students from middle, elementary and high schools have been reached

out with the final robotic competition encouraging young minds towards engineering and

science.

Participated in the “2008 East Oldham Middle School Science Fair”, April 4, 2008.

Demonstrated Robo-Pong competition and several experiments with ER1 mobile robots.

Participated in the INSPIRE (Increasing Student Preparedness and Interest in the Requisites

for Engineering) program. The program is designed to acquaint students (female and minority

students who traditionally are underrepresented in engineering fields) with engineering's career

choices. Students performed hands-on experiments with robots to learn “Fundamentals of
