Robot Fest 2010, Saturday, April 24, 10am-3pm. Robot Fest is a free, one-day annual event that promotes creativity, technology, engineering and the sciences. RobotFest is for students of all ages and for those with the unquenchable urge to create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics and mechanical parts of metal and plastic.
Competition Date: May 1, 2010. Eligibility and Level: Open to all Florida students in grades 9-12.
The 2010 Hydrogen Sprint will be held at the Florida Solar Energy Center, May 1, 2010.
The Hydrogen Sprint provides hands-on opportunities for high school students, grades 9 – 12, to explore the emerging scientific technology of hydrogen power. Students are challenged to design and build a high performance model sized vehicle which demonstrates the potential of hydrogen fuel.
• Students work in teams of 2 – 6 students per team. • Vehicles are designed and constructed around a small PEM fuel cell with open design and material parameters. • Hydrogen for the fuel is produced by electrolysis powered by photovoltaics.
Botball Tournaments are being held around the country. The Botball Educational Robotics Program engages middle and high school aged students in a team-oriented robotics competition based on national science education standards. By designing, building, programming, and documenting robots, students use science, engineering, technology, math, and writing skills in a hands-on project that reinforces their learning. These are the regional Botball tournaments for which the deadlines have not passed as of March 30.
Next week, NISE Net (Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network) celebrates NanoDays, a nationwide series of events and activities at your local science centers dedicated to the wondrous world of nanotechnology.
So what exactly is nanotech, you may ask, and how is it crucial to the future of engineering? Watch the video above to find out.
The imaginative building, also called a sub- or sea-scraper, was designed by Sarly Adre bin Sarkum of Malaysia and intended to contrast with the above-ground entries that dominated the competition.
