They shared their recent robot that had to scoop a ball and place in a container. The demonstration showed the robot scooping with a shovel type device and placing it in a plastic container. A total of ten students built the robot and they will take it to competitions.

Teacher’s can also use this program to record lesson plans for students who didn’t attend class. The students can watch the lesson on video and not miss out on the daily lesson. All but three teachers have been trained to use Web Lockers. The program has been successful with teachers and students.
