Seeking to instill students with real-life workforce skills through hands-on learning, teachers at Central High School in Louisville, KY, incorporated Spot into their curriculum. For students at CHS, a magnet school for Jefferson County Public Schools district, getting experience with an industrial robot has sparked a passion for engineering and robotics, kickstarted advancement into university engineering programs, and built lifelong career skills. See how students learn to operate Spot, program new behaviors for the robot, and inspire their peers with the school’s “emotional support robot” and unofficial mascot.

    Reminds me of when I was in high school in the early 1970's. Our school was the 2nd largest in the country and we had a computer, which probably no other high school had back then. I learned the basics of programming there and had a lifetime career. If I was a kid again, I would probably be into robotics.
  • I applaud Boston Dynamics for working with these students and paving the way for their future 👏

    These are the types of schooled that the American Education systems need to adopt. Just filled with passionate teachers and where kids learn actual useful things

    More schools need to be like this. This should be all over the news. This is so amazing
  • @jando8323
    So glad to see this program! It does my heart good to know companies like Boston Dynamics are out there and care enough about people help.
  • A reminder to all that tech should always be inclusive and not exclusive. Imagination and running with new concepts can come from anyone, anywhere, and if you're not enabling this then you're the one missing out on the very real human rewards for all.

    Reggie is such an honor to work with!

    This is like watching the first cars come into existence. I hope I live long enough to see robots advanced enough to do incredible things.
  • @skatechic6
    This is absolutely amazing. I love it. The principal and the staff seem outstanding and so invested in their students. Kudos to Boston Dynamics for partnering with them!
  • @allisonnovak500
    What an excellent student program! Spot and his robot friends should do a celebratory cheerleading routine!
  • @OldSkoolBiker62
    What an amazing school, the students look well involved and enjoying every minute of their school journey. Thank you Boston Dynamics for supporting this great program.
  • @JJs_playground
    This is an amazing program, inspiring the future generations. Great job Boston Dynamics.
  • @speicaldark
    This is heartwarming and cool at the same time. It's really nice for Boston Dynamics to go beyond universities and beyond big coastal cities and beyond "large players". It actually seems that even Spot is happier.
  • @Pottery4Life
    As Spot is an industrial robot, I give BD and the school extra credit for developing a program/interaction protocols that allow the students the freedom to work that closely with Spot without (hopefully) any negative consequences.

    This is the way for education, whatever the age. But kids and robots, it's a love story. It can indeed motivate them a lot to dangle that carrot in front of them. Good job Boston Dynamics. It gives everyone hope & enthusiasm for the (near) future. 💙
