Mike W. is a profoundly gifted, forward-thinking 9-year-old with an intense love of learning. Join Mike for a technology-filled journey as we look at how he found his voice to become an advocate for his own education and the challenges he has overcome along the way. Learn how "plugging in,” not “unplugging,” kept his love and desire to learn going even when the standard education was lagging way behind. Attendees will get a firsthand look at Mike’s self-taught robotic and computer programming knowledge when he turns the presentation over to his robot, Infinite. Infinite will highlight Mike’s journey with a PowerPoint presentation taking attendees all the way up to his own programming for this very presentation. “I named my robot Infinite because of the unlimited things we could learn together.” This will be the AG program everyone talks about.
