Chicago area high school students got to try coding and test drive robots during a hands-on ComEd event for Black History Month.
It was a true hands-on experience Saturday for the next generation of STEM leaders in Chicago.
"To do something like this just on a random day, I love it. You know, this is what I hope to do in college... hope to do in the real world," said Arthur Cox III, a Matea Valley High School senior. Some of them got test runs in before going back to the drawing board to finish the masterpiece. The challenge is what makes it fun for these students.
ComEd said it did this specifically for Black History Month, hoping to provide more students of color with these kinds of opportunities and exposure to the real world.
