"The University of Western Australia in Crawley received $33 924 to support its Awesome Animations and Animatronics outreach program. The grant will partially fund the program, which was designed for primary and secondary schools in Western Australia. University students and researchers work with the younger students to spark their interest in science by creating animations and hands-on projects involving artificial intelligence and robotics. At the end of the program, the students get to play with robotic dogs programmed by the university students to play soccer."
IEEE GOLD Western Australia worked together with the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at UWA to apply for this grant back in 2007.
