Montclair Students Code Robots to Draw, Dance, Play Soccer

BirdBrain Technologies loans 50 Finch robots to Mount Hebron Middle School.

Montclair middle school students recently got to tell a bunch of robots what to do.
 
During Computer Science Education Week, students at Mt. Hebron learned how to code Finch robots. The 50 robots were loaned to the school by their creators, Pittsburgh-based BirdBrain Technologies.

The slightly-larger-than-palm-sized machines were programmed to draw, dance, play soccer and other activities.
