Why this event?

Our STEM-based robot build is a great way to keep up with the latest technology while developing essential team skills that deliver proven benefits within any organization.

To succeed, winning teams must rely on clear communication, teamwork and leadership to outperform the other bots in the finale. Teams also prepare presentations to demonstrate the features they’d include if they could design a robot to work alongside them.

We also encourage you to donate one or more robotic kits to a local school’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program. These will be used to teach robotics to eager young minds for years to come.

"Your team exceeded expectations in every way. Our group was immediately energized during the intro. The build itself was exactly what we wanted. Very collaborative and most importantly, very interesting. It fit in perfectly with what our team does in our work life. The obstacle course competitions were definitely the highlight of the event. Everyone truly had a smile on their face, and we are a competitive group so we enjoyed the competition aspect of it. And, your team guiding the courses were very enthusiastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing event. I knew it was going to be a good event, but this was possibly the best event we've had at our company. One last time, thank you!!"
