Purpose
The SpelBots was formed to provide hands-on robotics education and research for women computer science students and to promote robotics and computer technology to our community.

Mission
The mission of SpelBots is to promote computer and robotics education and research by competing in the U.S. and International RoboCup 4-Legged competitions.

Founder and Coach
Dr. Andrew B. Williams is the founder and coach of the SpelBots and the Director of the Artificial Intelligence, Informatics and Robotics (AIR) Lab at Spelman College.

Future SpelBots at Spelman's C.A.R.E. Computer and Robotics Middle School Camp
Our Computer and Robotics Education (C.A.R.E.) camp teaches middle school girls and boys Robotics and other computer skills as well as technical leadership. The C.A.R.E. project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Broadening Participation in Computing
The SpelBots are involved in promoting computer science to K-12 students as well as to other HBCUs. We collaborate with Carnegie Mellon University on this C.A.R.E. project.
