Robotics Camp
Before heading to college, Kyra Williams is hosting “It’s a Girl Thing” robotics camp. The 18-year-old Goliad resident hopes to get more girls interested in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. She took a chance when she signed up for a robotics class at Goliad High School but soon found she had a passion and talent for the field. “I just fell in love with it,” she said.
