Northwestern State University Robotics Competition and Smart Structures Show

The Department of Engineering Technology at Northwestern State University will be hosting its Fall Robotics Competition and Smart Structures Show (RC&S3) on Dec. 1. All middle schools within 200 miles radius from Natchitoches city are welcome to participate. This year, we are also organizing a smart structures show to provide opportunities for high schools and other organizations that are involved in robotics related projects to show their creativity at our event. There is no registration fee for the competition or show, however, those interested in participating in the competition must respond to the announcement by submitting a letter of intent and a press/photo release form (for each team member) no later than Nov. 25.

The theme for camp this year, “To Mars and Beyond,” is inspired by NASA.

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in all competition challenges in order to maximize their benefit from the designed STEM activities. Also, participants are expected to design all their activities around the theme.

Students will test their computer programming skills and compete with other Louisiana students for cool prizes! A fun day is planned at Northwestern State University with educational experiences, and social activities. The Department of Engineering Technology will provide complimentary refreshments. Students are asked to bring their own lunch. Parents are welcome too!

Organizers are very excited about this Fall event and can’t wait to see robotics software and hardware skills from students across the state!
