Westwood students interested in robotics and video games had the time of their lives as their school hosted a week long NERDIES™ camp. Twenty-two students were recommended by their teachers based on their interest in robotics or video game development and their exemplary behavior in school to attend the NERDIES™ camp. They were able to attend the camp free thanks to Jane Hunt Meade donating nearly $8,000 to cover the cost of attendance. Rockline Industries covered the cost of each of the kits that students used to design and build robots throughout the week.
