Visit from SMP 255 Jakarta

On March 10, 2011, the ITB Robotics Unit received a visit from students from SMP 255 Jakarta. Taking place in the ITB West Hall, the participants, consisting of 230 students and 15 accompanying teachers, were received by the Head of the STEI Information Systems Sub-Division, Bayu Setyolaksono, the Head of the ITB Robotics Unit, Niam, and other members.

One of the accompanying teachers stated that their visit to ITB was specifically to observe and learn firsthand how the robot that won the KRCI competition works. Furthermore, the students from SMP 255 Jakarta were very enthusiastic when they demonstrated one of the robots they had created.

At the end of the event, the ITB Robotics Unit announced that it would be holding a robot workshop/training session called "Robocool." The training, which is for junior high and high school students, is scheduled to be held at ITB on March 20, 2011.
