Space Elevator Robotics Workshop and Information Session
Saturday, July 26, 1 pm - 4 pm
Redmond Library, 15990 NE 85th Street *
JOIN US at the Redmond Library, meeting room one, on Saturday July 26 from 1 pm - 4 pm to work on and test your robots for the 2104 ISEC Space Elevator Youth Robotics Competition, which will take place on Saturday, August 23 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
OR stop by to learn what the competition is all about. David Schilling, the space elevator robotics competition designer and technical lead will be on hand to answer questions and provide support.
Work on your robot OR start building your robot at the workshop. Ask questions about the rules, meet other teams. See samples of the satellites (payload) and use for testing; purchase some if you would like to take some home.
Bring your robot, parts, tools, laptops, etc. We will have an arena set up for testing purposes.
Snacks will be provided (gluten-free options too).
About the Space Elevator Youth Robotics Competition
The Space Elevator Robotics Competition is a challenge for middle and high school students to design, build and program an autonomous, tether-climbing robot. The robot must defy gravity and climb a 22’ tether to the top while carrying a payload. Prizes will be awarded for top-scoring robots and for robot design. It’s a great summer project that’s both challenging and fun. STEM!
The competition will take place on Saturday, August 23 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle and is free to registered teams. Admission to the Museum of Flight for the day is also free. www.isec.org/sec/index.php/family-science-fest
The rules for the 2014 Space Elevator Competition, including the dates and how to register, can be found at: http://www.isec.org/sec/images/docs/2014%20space%20elevator%20rules.pdf
Please RSVP for the workshop to Carolyn at cmda...@seanet.com so that we have enough tables and chairs set up and also enough snacks on hand. I hope to see you there!
