On Sunday, April 11, two Central Texas FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) teams will demonstrate their original robots designs at an open house at the Austin Children’s Museum (ACM). FIRST® Robotics Challenge (FRC) Team 2789 of Manor New Tech High School and Cedar Creek Elementary’s Team X, a 2009 Central Texas FIRST® LEGO® (FLL) Robot Design Award winner, will show off their robots during the interactive half-day event.
As part of Austin RoboWeek, the ACM event celebrates National Robotics Week, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness for robotics research and STEM education in the United States.
Central Texas FIRST® teams recently finished their 2009 season, including the 2009 FLL Championship coordinated by Skillpoint Alliance. FIRST®, an international non-profit organization, designs and issues annual project-based challenges for students including FRC and FLL.
