Moon Township, Pa. / Charles L. Sewall Center - Over 700 students from elementary schools in the Moon Township, Hopewell and Ambridge school districts participated in Elementary School Day centered around the Robert Morris University women's basketball game against Akron at the Charles L. Sewall Center Wednesday morning. The large turnout helped the team set a record for the largest crowd, 885, to witness a regular-season Colonials women's basketball game in the 36-year history of the program.

Different departments from across the RMU campus had interactive displays set up for the children to experience. Holiday karaoke could be heard from the Academic Media Center. The School of Engineering had remote-control robots roaming the floor, a dune buggy to climb on and an infrared camera to experiment with.
Members of the Sports Management Department were shooting hoops while students practiced CPR with the School of Nursing's mannequins. Campus Safety had a cruiser parked in the gym as kids turned on the lights and blared the siren and the Office of Admissions took guesses on the number of M&M's in a container.
