IFB ‘The Edge’ Robot Challenge at Alder Hey
Book onto EventOn the 15th June 2016, MerseySTEM will be facilitating their latest robotics challenge, funded by ChargePoint Technology, as part of The Edge, the official fringe festival for the International Festival for Business.
The event will take place in the Innovation Hub at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. This is a free-of charge robotics activity competition, based around the VEX Protobot system.
The event will see teams of students from local schools take part in a full-day event, building their robots in the morning and pitting them against each other in the afternoon in a series of matches.
Throughout the day, teams will be supported by STEM Ambassadors, from Charge Point Technology, to help build their machine!
Teams consist of four students. The day is aimed at Year 8 & 9’s. Teams can be a mix of year groups. Each school can enter one team.
The day will enable students to understand a variety of design, science and engineering principles and also encourage teamwork, leadership and problem solving skills. The events aim to inspire and excite students’ interest in robotics & to demonstrate the practical application of mathematics and engineering.
