Not long after their attendance at the 2022 Championship Competition, the Kent State University Combat Robotics Team was back in action at the Norwalk Havoc Robotics League’s March competition. This was made possible by a very generous anonymous donation to rebuild the team’s previous robot, which had been in need of a replacement. At NHRL competitions, the Combat Robotics Team faces steep competition, with some teams even flying in from overseas to compete. The Team’s new robot, Flash-BANG, was built in just three weeks leading up to the competition, giving team members many opportun...

The High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program was launched by NASA in 2003 at three high schools. Today, more than 200 high schools across ...

The co...
When I first came to Kent State in 2019, I was determined to follow the path of becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist. My counselor at the Twinsburg branch campus explained to me how Human Development and Family Sciences with a Family Life Education concentration would be the perfect fit for me.

I started out as an Activities Assistant at a skilled nursing home, and then being an in-home Caregiver for Portage County over the last two years. Du...
