Provincial Robotics Competition
The best young robotics minds from across Ontario came to Oshawa last month to tackle the challenge of transforming transportation when the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) hosted the annual For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Lego League (FLL) provincial championships. Approximately 500 students, ages 9 to 14, and another 200 parents, volunteers and judges were all on hand for the FLL competition, which encouraged students to apply math and science concepts to research, design, build and program autonomous robots using Lego Mindstorms software. Teams earned their spots at the championships after taking part in practice tournaments and then one of 11 regional qualifiers. Once at UOIT, they competed in four different categories for the provincial title. Congratulations to all participants!
