St. Edwards College

On Tuesday (Mar 20th), we went to St. Edward's College to do some outreach to a class of 5th grade students. St. Edward's College is a school that provides education from Kindergarten through Sixth Form, where Sixth Form is a pre-university program. The outreach consisted of a half hour of teaching them about mobile robots and another half hour of programming binary robots. This was a great experience for us as well as the 5th graders.

In conjunction with the outreach, three of the students explored 2 cisterns at the school during the outreach and then we all explored another cistern in the recess area. The St. Edward's College students that were on recess at the time were very intrigued by the robots and couldn't help but try and get as close to the computer screen as possible.

The cisterns were interesting and can be seen in the images below. We had some trouble with the last cistern. The tether got wrapped around a pipe, which limited how far we could explore. We didn't figure this out till we were pulling the robot out of the cistern. In future expeditions to Malta, this site will be on the list.
