Alliance of Top Industry, Academic and Non-Profit Organizations Team Up to Launch National Robotics Week

“Nineteen years ago, in an effort to ‘hook’ students on the fun and excitement of science and technology, FIRST created a national robotics competition that now draws more than 250,000 participants a year. The thinking was that the younger and more diverse the participants, the better chance we will have of producing a generation of innovative problem solvers,” said Dean Kamen, noted inventor, president of DEKA Research and Development, and FIRST Founder.

In advance of National Robotics Week, the organizing committee has launched a new Web site, www.nationalroboticsweek.org. Here, visitors can gain access to an extensive inventory of resources and information such as:

  • An updated listing of National Robotics Week events around the country
  • Opportunities for organizations to submit their own events for inclusion in National Robotics Week
  • Robotics-related activities and resources for educators, parents and other participants

To learn more about National Robotics Week events and activities, or to find other robotics-related resources and information, please visit: www.nationalroboticsweek.org.
