Tustin Girl Scout Twilight Camp

Our Breakaway robot (Arnold O. 3) was the featured speaker accompanied by our mentoring team at a Girl Scout daycamp with over 500 K-12 participants. Space was the theme of the day and Arnold was used as an example of what a real robot looks like. Examples of NASA's interplanetary exploration programs such as Cassini and Galileo were highlighted and compared to Arnold. Careers in engineering and sciences were also discussed. Much to the delight of the younder Girl Scouts, they discovered that several of the high school Girl Scouts in leadership positions at camp had been key team members in building our Breakaway robot.
