BrightPath STEAM Academy

15 middle and high school students from the Bright Path STEAM Academy came to the McKelvey School of Engineering on July 23, 2021 to do in person and online lessons in COVID-19 science, math/finance, and artificial intelligence/robotics. They joined over 300 virtual students from three countries and 14 states for the lessons. They also toured the labs of Rajan Chakrabarty, Richard Axelbaum, and Roman Garnett and had lunch with Dean Aaron Bobick. Jessica Wagenseil and her lab members, Christie and Diana, assisted with the online lessons and led the lab tours.
