Photo by Liz RamosClayton Medford, a sixth grader at R. Dan Nolan Middle School, stood beside Gilbert W. McNeal Elementary School third grader Jeremy Hoyos and showed him how to use a controller to move a robot.
Medford, who spent at least 100 hours building his robot, was showcasing it during McNeal Elementary's STEAM Night April 18. The robots were available to promote the school's VEX program.
Medford said it was a new experience to be able to share his robot with McNeal Elementary students. Medford attended Robert E. Willis Elementary School.
"It's cool to see these kids trying to have fun with the robot I spent hours building," he said.
The robotics station was one of several STEAM Night activities, including making paper airplanes, coding, gardening, constructing a container for stuffed animals and measuring heart rates.
