FIRST TECH CHALLENGE CHAMPIONSHIP COMES TO S&T MARCH 5

POSTED BY NANCY BOWLES

Excitement will run high as hands-on learning takes center stage – or the
gymnasium floor in this case – on Saturday, March 5, when FIRST Tech Challenge
comes to Missouri University of Science and Technology for a regional
championship. Hundreds of tech-savvy students will show off their skills and
their robots in the varsity gymnasium at Missouri S&T’s Gale Bullman Building,
located at 10th Street and Bishop Avenue (U.S. Highway 63).

FIRST Tech Challenge is an international robotics program for grades 7-12,
administered both inside and outside the classroom by FIRST in Missouri.
Students join teams to design, build, code and operate complex robots to play a
themed floor game. This year’s theme is “Freight Frenzy,” and teams will show
off robots that can overcome obstacles in a complex transportation system and
race against the clock to load and deliver items to specified points. You can
watch an animated simulation here.

This year’s competition will feature 36 teams with over 300 students from
Missouri and Kansas. Teams earned advancement to the championship through one of
several regional league tournaments. The teams will continue to play on the game
field to determine the top robots, and professional panels will interview
competitors for judged awards. Three teams will advance to the FIRST
Championship in Houston, April 20-23. Judges will also name four individual
students as Dean’s List finalists advancing for further recognition.

“The Kummer Center for STEM Education is looking forward to supporting the FIRST
Tech Challenge as it returns to campus,” says Courtney Jones, director of the
Kummer Center for STEM Education at Missouri S&T. “The competition provides a
great opportunity to engage K-12 students in real world, hands-on STEM
experiences. Many students competing will become S&T students and go on to
become STEM professionals, with a problem-solving skillset that is directly
related to this event.”

The competition is open to spectators. Face masks are recommended for
participants and spectators. The action will be livestreamed for those who are
unable to attend in person. Live scoring will also be available online.
