International Botball Tournament held in conjunction with the Global Conference on Educational Robotics, July 9-13

Hundreds of middle and high school students across the country have given up their free time to put their science, programming, math and engineering skills to practical use by designing, building and writing code for their Botball robots. Classrooms and after school programs have been alive with these  activities!
 
On July 9-13th, they will put their autonomous robots to the test as they participate in the International Botball Tournament held in conjunction with the Global Conference on Educational Robotics. The conference is co-presented by the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics, the Office of Naval Research, NASA and the Northrop Grumman Foundation.  It should be an exhilarating event.

All events will be at the Hyatt Regency Orange County (11999 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92840).

Botball teaches real-life programming and software development as well as valuable teamwork skills, project documentation, and working to a schedule...skills our young people will need and use one day as part of our nation's workforce and as our future leaders.
