Purchasing a $60,000 video robot to inspect stormwater pipes didn’t fit into the budget for one Pennsylvania municipality, so officials turned to students in Penn State's Philadelphia regional engineering degree. They delivered Stormbot on time and way, way under budget.
General engineering majors from Penn State Abington and Brandywine developed a mobile robot to inspect storm water pipes in nearby Horsham Township. This field test demonstrates some of its capabilities. The township saved about $60,000 by working with the students instead of purchasing a robot.
As part of Brandywine’s Social Justice Fair, sculptor Roger Wing visited campus and created a work of art to raise awareness about gun violence on college campuses and beyond
Carol Metzker, author of “Facing the Monster: How One Person Can Fight Child Slavery,” spoke to a packed auditorium about human trafficking in Pennsylvania.
During day two’s student poster session, a student presented her team’s social justice project to the campus community and outside guests, which highlighted the Black Lives Matter activist movement.
