Crestview resident graduates from robotics camp

HUNTSVILLE — A Crestview resident recently attended Robotics Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Official Visitor Center.

The weeklong educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math, while training students and adults with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and decision-making.

Aidan Bush was part of the Robotics Camp program, which is designed for trainees interested in engineering. The camp shows trainees how engineers develop solutions for real-world problems using real-world technologies.

Trainees at all age levels used robotics systems to compete in air, sea and land activities and missions.

Using the Office of Naval Research’s SeaPerch undersea robotics, Aidan and other trainees tested payloads on an unmanned aerial vehicle, all while strengthening teamwork and leadership skills.

At the end of their missions, the teams arrived in time to graduate with honors.
