Time Warner Cable, "Connect the Bots"
Bright Lights is pleased to have Time Warner Cable as a sponsor for our Robotics classes. Learn more about their commitment to inspire students in math, science and technology areas with their new philanthropic initiative "Connect a Million Minds" at connectamillionminds.com/overview.php.
Time Warner Cable did some filming during a Bright Lights Robotics class, summer 2010. Footage from this may be used in future Time Warner films.
The documentary, "Connect the Bots" (An examination of how robotics inspires young people to become the problem solvers of tomorrow), is shown two ways:
- Tune to Time Warner Cable channel 13 at 8 pm on Saturdays and 6 pm on Sundays.
- Tune to Time Warner Cable’s Nebraska On Demand, Channel 101, and watch the documentary "Connect The Bots"
Bright Lights Lego Classes, Summer 2010
Bright Lights added two additional classes to the summer 2010 program to help meet the demand from families in Lincoln. Thanks to the Rogers Foundation for help in the purchase of equipment, and to UNL’s extension for the loan of equipment this summer. Children love to learn with this equipment and the experience helps teach students to be future problem solvers.
