Team 135 also demonstrated in common programs used at Penn High School for STEM related classes, such as Inventor and Photoshop. The young students had fun and entertaining breaks, by being able to drive and compete in little games with the T-shirt Launcher Robot. Overall, the students gained incredible knowledge through great experiences with many of the machines and programs.
