Robotics
This Saturday the robotics team members and I attended the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) kickoff and it was very interesting. Inventor and FIRST creator Dean Kamen gave a rousing and emotional speech on the importance of engineering in education, the head of NASA's robotics division spoke and pop star Will.i.am tried to inject some "cool" into the proceedings. Then this year's game was introduced and can be seen here:

Now the build season has officially begun and the students will spend the next six weeks tirelessly designing, building and programming the robot almost every day. The robot must be built by 2/16 and the NY regional competition at the Jacob Javitts Center is from March 11th to 13th. Come by if you can to root them on!
The 7th and 8th graders in the FIRST Lego League (a completely separate competition) are nearing the end of their season, with their medically themed robot programmed and projects on nanotechnology and robotic surgery almost done. Their qualifier will be at City College this Sunday, 1/16. If anyone lives nearby please come and root them on!
Most information about the above can be found here: http://www.usfirst.org/, but please feel free to ask the students or me about it. Please wish these students luck if know them or you see them around!
