As part of the National Robotics Week, Center for Robotics & Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech (RIM@GT) will be hosting an Open House for high school students on Wednesday, April 10, 2013.
A registration table will be in the College of Computing’s Courtyard to welcome you to the Open House (please follow the signs to the area). At which time, a detailed demo schedule will be distributed for each group. We will try our best to follow the event schedule below. The morning and afternoon sessions will be different as our Robotics labs are spread out in 6 different buildings, so please wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella in case of rain. Students will need to bring their own brown bag lunch, but drinks will be provided. For your convenience, a campus map of the demo labs may be found here [1].
