Robots, virtual reality, entrepreneur makers space, a guest speaker and, of course, lunch were on the agenda for the Sandpoint High School dual credit computer science 112 field trip to the UI Innovation Den and the NIC Gizmo makerspace in Coeur d’Alene. The students experienced first hand the results of robotic programming. JD Claridge, of XCraft drone manufacturing, encouraged the students to not just have ideas, but take action to bring those ideas to production. A grant from Panhandle Alliance for Education made the field trip possible.
