Each group of kids use their own creative initiative to figure out how to engineer and design the robot to fulfill the requirements of the challenge. |
Our mission is to help these kids develop the communications skills, the interpersonal skills and the problem-solving skills to work in a global environment. |
The whole thing is helping these kids that may want to go into engineering understand what it is to deal with a problem-solving situation. |
These kids have put probably 50 to 100 hours in the past three weeks in that machine. Last night, several of them pulled an all-nighter. We ordered pizza. |
They kids came together, so we put the team together, we got on the Internet, we got the money, we registered and we bought the equipment. |
