We were able to lease a robot to a school in the northern suburbs of Columbus to a student with a chronic lung condition that periodically makes it unwise for him to go to physically go to school. Through this program, the school was able to lease a telepresence robot, allowing the child to continue his education and not put himself at risk due to Covid19.
