Nick J. Rahall, II Appalachian Institute 
LEGO CITY


Intelligent Transportation Outreach at Marshall University through LEGO robotics projects 
of Linda Hamilton has taken on various facets. 
Hamilton's LEGO robotic outreach projects include training Marshall University 
students to assist in K-12 robotic projects via 
Transportation Outreach on Wheels; performing numerous outreach activities at local elementary, middle, and high schools; 
conducting workshops with various groups; and maintaining the physical and web presence of the LEGO SENSORS CITY site 
via Red Rover Teleoperation. 

The LEGO web site includes pictorial reports of projects at Davis Creek Elementary, 
Barboursville Middle School, Pea Ridge Elementary, Miller Elementary, 
and Spring Hill Elementary along with many other robotic project pictures. 
See “Current Year” at http://www.marshall.edu/LEGO for ongoing LEGO robotic projects for the above listed schools 
and see http://www.marshall.edu/lego/AppaLEGO/AppaLEGOCity.html for other ongoing major robotic projects.


The LEGO CITY, which is housed in the second floor of Nick J. Rahall, II Appalachian Institute at Marshall University, 
physically affords opportunities for teachers, news people, Marshall University professors and students, 
and others to see the robotics and operate the LEGO CITY first hand. 
Even more interestingly, people anywhere in the world can teleoperate various components 
through the Red Rover software. Through RoboLab software, students can write and run their own programs 
and in return obtain the sensor data from their missions. 
Linda Hamilton maintains the transportation scenarios for the physical set ups that are changed each month. 
The public transportation can be operated through Red Rover software 
and programmed with RoboLab and sent through the web to the CITY.
The science that can be done with the RCX and programming in RoboLab can and will be used for science projects. 
The materials are set up as a resource for students throughout Appalachia and beyond.
