In "Out of the Box: Building Robots, Transforming Lives," Andrew Williams tells his story of overcoming life's odds to build robots and impact the lives of six bright and adventurous African American females. Tracing the steps of his journey, Williams takes us from the Kansas ghetto in which he was raised and where he was for all intents and purposes, written off by society's standards, to Osaka Japan, where he led the first all-female team from Spelman College - the Spelbots, to the stage of the RoboCup Tournament. Compelled by tough love, commitment and the prayers of faithful men and women whom God placed in his life along the way; driven by his belief that God has called him to uplift and encourage African American youth Dr. Andrew Williams shows that with God, seemingly impossible dreams become possible. In this biography he challenges the reader through his own faith story to find and pursue their unique calling, even when it does not make sense.
