Buster the Bus
Buster the School Bus is a
fully animated, remote-controlled robot that speaks, moves,
listens, plays audiocassette tapes, and has activated lights.
Buster the School Bus was purchased through grants and donations.
Buster is used to teach school bus safety to all Medina County
school children. He can also be used in classrooms, assemblies,
parades, and community programs.
We believe that having robots whose appearances mimic the “real
thing” is appropriate in the instructional process for our
students. Buster the School Bus is available for use in any of the
Medina County school districts. Buster has visited many of the
schools and has received a very warm welcome from the children in
these schools.
All of Medina County’s transportation coordinators have been
trained in the operation of Buster.
If you would like to schedule Buster the School Bus for a visit at
your school or in your classroom, please call Bonnie McNeely at
(330) 723-6393, Ext. 147, or e-mail her at
bmcneely@medina-esc.org.
