Education

• Morgan State University Engineering

• Boe Bot Engineering Experience

Morgan State University Engineering

-Attended a program at Morgan State

University that taught us what we need
to know when building a robot then we
eventually built a robot.

- Program held by Ms. Miesha Drew

Education Boe Bot Engineering Experience

Building and programming a robot is a combination of

mechanics, electronics, and problem solving.

While doing this project we learned that this project is

relevant to “real world” applications that use robotic
control. The only difference being size and sophistication.

The mechanical principles, example program listings, and

circuits we used were very similar to and sometimes the
same as industrial applications developed by engineers.
