High school students in the Alaska Native Science & Engineering Program Acceleration Academy engineered and built robotic fish, which they brought to the University of Alaska Anchorage pool on Friday, July 21, 2017. They raced the fish the length of the pool and steered their creations through a floating maze in a competition to test out the robotic fish.
