…students with building an mBot Neo robot from Makeblock’s STEM education kit, which is designed to teach the fundamentals of robotics. They would then use their knowledge of Scratch or Python coding to program the robots driving controls, said Juni. With each project, students are presented with a real-world challenge to maneuver their robots through, emulating what a NASA astronaut exploring Mars or a deep-sea researcher mapping the ocean floor may encounter. At the end of the course, students will design and complete a master simulation challenge to present to the Juni community. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Juni on…

…midsize food-service businesses? Al-Beik: Across the board, the challenges stem from logistics highly dependent on human labor. Even at capacity, the output is limited — human workers can't compete with 80 digital orders coming through in a single hour. As a result, customers have less of a burden when making an order, but they take it on when they wait to pick up their orders. Today, with the labor shortage alone, the logistics are overwhelmed, and the customer experience inevitably plummets. Therefore, the biggest challenge is upgrading logistics to support a much more streamlined input and output retail system while…
