SA BEST (SAN ANTONIO BOOSTING ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY) GEAR (GETTING EXCITED ABOUT ROBOTS) 2007 COMPETITION - APRIL 28
SABEST is an organization which attempts to expose area high school students to science and engineering. The local organization branched out by offering a trial program called GEAR, a robotics competition for elementary and middle school students. GEAR started in 2001 with the goal of generating interest among students to pursue a career in engineering, science and technology related fields and also to show them that math and science can be fun. The game challenges are designed to encourage students to think at higher levels and to show them how everyday math and science apply to the real world in the relative safety of a classroom lab environment. See http://www.gear.sabest.org for more information. Volunteers are also needed for the competition on Saturday, April 28, at the UTSA (1604) Rec Center (No robotic experience needed. Just be ready to have fun!): Refs - 10 needed Scorers - 4 needed Judges - 6 needed Staging - 5 needed Registration - 4 needed
