In Spring, 2011 the first AWT RoboBot competition took place at Lakeland Community College.
Meet some of the manufacturers, a teacher, and students from one of the teams. Hear about their
experiences and answers to the following questions:
• When am I ever going to use math, science and IT?
• How do I use computer-aided design to craft a robot?
• How can I apply topics such as physics and geometry to make a more competitive robobot?
• How do I compute coefficients of drag and centers of gravity to win the competition?
• How do I build a winning robobot by applying Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math?
An AWT RoboBot team quickly discovers one thing that often proves elusive in the classroom: self-motivation. With victory in their sights, the drive to learn science, technology, engineering and math becomes a strategy. The best designs come from the competitors who can understand, and apply, everything from physics to geometry. And the best design usually wins!
AWT RoboBots is a fun, hands-on experience offering high school students the opportunity to learn
engineering & robotics from Northeast Ohio’s top manufacturers.
The interactive presentation will feature competitors from the 2011 competition - the employees, the teacher, the students and even a RoboBot or two.
