A few students at our school have the
possibility to participate in the Global Conference on Educational Robotics in
two ways. First, students will be able to participate in the International
Botball Tournament where they will complete programming challenges. Secondly,
they may be able to present on the use of the Botball Wallaby in the school’s NASA
project. http://bit.ly/2lompcI
Conference information:
Everyone interested in
robotics and STEM education is encouraged to attend the conference! Each year
students, educators, enthusiasts, and professionals from across the world
gather at the Global Conference on Educational Robotics to connect with peers,
discuss technology-related ideas, and cheer on their favorite teams during two
exciting autonomous robot tournaments. http://new.gcer.net/events/

to receive grant funding from the Idaho STEM Action Center to offset travel costs and will seek additional funding opportunities as needed.
In order to qualify, the participating students will need to:
1.
