New York – Mollusca Roboto Curriculum Workshop: Using Robotics to Help Students Tackle Plastic Pollution
July 29

What: How can technology help address environmental challenges like microplastic pollution? Can we look to nature for inspiration as we develop technology? Engage your students with questions like this and more through a Cornell University research project using biomimicry to design a microplastic-collecting robot. Join one of this summer’s workshops to learn from researchers, assemble your own classroom-scale robot, and work with teachers who have brought this project to their classrooms.
