DC Red Rover student crew drives ATI AppaLEGO City

Nick J. Rahall, II Appalachian Transportation Institute sponsored the five day LEGO Intelligent Transportation Workshop at the ATI offices at Marshall University, presently housed in the City National Bank annex.  ATI is a University Transportation Center funded by a $12 million grant from the United States Department of Transportation  through the efforts of West Virginia Congressman Nick J. Rahall, II.  One of ATI's goals is to encourage interest in math, science, and the study of transportation to equip our youth to solve our nation's transportation challenges.  The students were challenged to build a system of transportation and construct a city highway system through using LEGO elements and ROBOLAB, developed by Tufts University.
