Twenty-four,
seventh grade students and their teacher, Ms. Barbara Samide,
from Brandywine Heights Area Middle School recently visited
the Berks Career and Technology Center to tour the Robotics
and Automation Technology Program. The students who are part
of Brandywine’s gifted program, decided to come to
BCTC because they were learning about robotics and wanted
to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge about the topic.
Mr.
John Mestishen, robotics and automation technology instructor
and his morning class welcomed the class to BCTC and to
their program. Jonathan Risser, a senior from Conrad Weiser
High School served as the class host and tour guide. Jonathan
provided an overview on pneumatics and hydraulics and showed
the students different sections of the lab. Students
had the opportunity to operate the work cell and the Armdroid robot.
Jonathan also fielded a lot of questions from the students who were
extremely knowledgeable about robotics and understood the vocabulary.
