Team STACIE is Recruiting ...

Please click HERE to join in Team STACIE - Benedict Robotic Team.

Team STACIE (the Science and Technology Activity Centered Interactive Education cohesive unit) undertakes important project-focused activities in robot systems and Artificial / Robot Intelligence (AI / RI). We try to improve students’ engineering skills through faculty mentoring, peer-to-peer mentoring, team building and community services. More specifically, we train students to learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as Robotics. We also provide students with hands-on experience on how to operate / program Robots as well as learning the rationale behind it.
