"Last year we did robotics in one of our racquetball rooms, and it was a little bit spaced in and we couldn't do as much. So we partnered with UNOH. They have their expertise; they have a bigger area; more equipment we can possibly use. And just different things we're able to use," said Brady Killgallon, sports and wellness director at the Lima Family YMCA.
The informational meeting is Wednesday, October 23, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the university's robotics building at 1391 North Cable Road in Lima, OH.
They also believe that working with UNOH students and faculty can build mentorships. The informational meeting is Wednesday, October 23, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the university's robotics building at 1391 North Cable Road in Lima, OH.
