only had one child who was unable to testify in court, and that really shows how these techniques can help people understand and communicate with other people.” Steve has written several articles on natural horsemanship and recently published his first book, “And a Little Child Shall Lead Them: Learning From Wild Horses and Small Children.” Steve and his wife, Beth, have three daughters and five grandchildren. On Saturday, Sept. 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Steve will visit Pennsylvania to host a Mill Swamp Indian Horses Round Pen Clinic at 132 Hollow Road, Quarryville. The clinic is sponsored by Noble Hill Horse Rescue. Steve noted that the clinic will differ from typical horse training sessions because it will be on a much deeper level. Steve will help people understand what motivates horses, how horses can be therapeutic, and most importantly, how to use horse training to become a happier and better person. “My biggest dream is for people to participate in our clinics and become inspired to make a program like ours,” stated Steve. “We want more programs like ours in more parts of the country so people can understand themselves and horses better.” For mor information or to purchase tickets for the clinic, visit www.noblehillrescue.org, call 717-203-9785, or email msindian horses@aol.com.

For one week in July, Todd Brown, technology education teacher at Solanco High School, hosted a summer robotics camp. Over 40 students between grades four and seven attended the camp. “The turnout was wonderful for it being the first time we ever did something like this,” noted Brown. At the camp, students learned the basics of robotics and coding principles and then used this foundation to solve real-world robotic problem scenarios. One of the problems that the students were asked to solve involved an autonomous driving robot and gave students an idea of the challenges that Tesla, Uber, and Google are facing with their selfdriving autonomous vehicles. Another challenge the students encountered was to develop a See Robotics pg 5
