About the Project Leader
The Inspiration
The Plan
Over the course of 6 months, Ben will organize a middle school division and a high school division with assigned teams. Each team will have a student team leader and include students with and without intellectual disabilities. Ben will coordinate mentors, volunteers, and local sponsors prior to student registration to assist with the 6-week team-building program where students build their robot for the competition, learn STEM related concepts, and develop as a team. On competition day, each team will have the opportunity to showcase and discuss their robot and the steps taken to build and program it.
