The focus of CompuBOLD is to expose students from under-resourced areas to co-robotics using effective culturally relevant curricula and instructional approaches. This robotics education program is designed to expand the already extant NSF-funded informal education program, CompuGirls, through supplementing this program’s culturally responsive curriculum with humanoid co-robotic activities.

Program objectives:
- To develop and study culturally co-robot curriculum in the context of CompuGirls
