Cue The Wonder With Robotics!
Funded May 18, 2022The students of P.S. 193 are highly engaged and motivated by our newest addition to the robot family here: Cue! They are quickly learning about the abilities Cue has and working their way towards understanding more about how he works. When the students first saw Cue, they were fascinated to see how different he was from the other robots we have. They were also over the moon to know that we had community members who were supporting their education in robotics. As we continue into this new school year, students will use Cue to interact with the other robots and travel around the school. Stay tuned!”
