Help FIRST Indiana Robotics and KY FIRST spread the word about robotics in the greater Louisville/Southern Indiana region so that more young people have access to FIRST.
Friday evening – There will be a corporate networking event at the high school for corporate leaders to come and learn how they could become sponsors and provide mentors for teams.
Saturday morning – Bagels and Bots – Local school leaders on both sides of the river are invited to come over for some bagels and learn about bringing world-class STEM mentoring programs back to their school communities.
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Participants are eligible to apply for $80M+ in college scholarships.
