STEM Scholars at BATTLEBOT Competition

Battlebot Competition at Citrix Synergy 2017 Conference
STEM Scholars ROCK

Our Meadowbrook STEM Scholars had the opportunity to participate in a BattleBot Competition at the Citrix Synergy 2017 Conference (https://www.citrixsynergy.com/)  on yesterday, May 25th.  Student teams of two worked alongside engineers for an hour and a half in learning how to assemble, program their battlebots, designed their robots to their liking and tested their prototype.  For the final hour, student teams competed against each other in a battlebot combat.  Students were energized, engaged, and enthusiastic throughout the whole process.  This was an amazing experience for our scholars. 

 We were the only school that had the opportunity to participate at this event.  We are thankful to United Way and Citrix Synergy for providing us with this invigorating learning experience.  The robots were all donated to our school to further our STEM education.
