A fully functional robotic replica of Disney's WALL-E, used for community and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) outreach.
WALL-E is a fully functional robot used for community and STEM outreach. WALL-E visits local schools and hospitals to help inspire children's imagination, creativity, and to promote learning about science and engineering. WALL-E was built by William Gibson and Julie Smith, two Air Force Research Laboratory scientists with the goal of community outreach focusing on New Mexico's youth. For more info

WALL-E had so much fun today at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Rio Rancho. He got to play with a Van Der Graaf machine, eat lunch with the students and even meet the Mayor of Rio Rancho, Gregg Hull!! I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the students, but they all loved him, and had so much fun playing with him and learning about how he was built. 
Special thanks to Elesha Fetrow for inviting us!!
