SPRINGFIELD, OH -- Trick or treating is getting high tech for some Springfield students.

Springfield Middle School teachers challenged their students to use their computer skills for some Halloween fun.

The students had to program robots to travel down the school hallways and trick or treat from room to room.

"We had to measure how far it was to each classroom and we had to measure each rotation and multiply it by the length," said Springfield 7th Grader Libby Mathewson.

The teachers were able to put on the Halloween challenge because of grant money they had received.
