Babies needed!

Contributed by Helene Larin on 02/13/2013 

We're looking for infants who can help us in our research!
We are looking for infants between 5 and 18 months of age who do not yet crawl on their hands and knees to participate in our Tots on Bots project. We invite parents to bring their infants to campus for five to six driver training sessions, each of which will take about 30 minutes.  A $20 incentive will be offered for each session that infants attend.
