What an amazing experience! We started our day with a presentation by a student about what the School of Computing and Engineering offers and about the robotics competitions. Then we went to the new library and saw how they use robots to get books off of shelves. Next we saw (and heard) a demonstration of a small jet engine and a hexacopter drone. They served us pizza and cookies for lunch and gave each student a goodie bag. We ended our day in the Geosciences Museum which houses one of the largest collections of rocks in the Central United States. We also saw fulgurites (when lightning strikes land and melts the soil), fossils, and petrified wood.
