Building competition robots also builds STEM skills
Teams of Native junior and high school students are competing to build the best robots.

They have to build their machines from scratch to accomplish tasks competition organizers set each season. Those tasks might be as simple as moving an object to a specific space, but they also might have to get around their opponents who are trying to stop them. Just like in sports, there are competitions on the regional, state, and national levels.

Join Native America Calling to hear from some Native robotics competitors and their coaches who are fired up about robots.
