- Inspire students of all ages to pursue careers in robotics and other Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-related fields
DARPA Robots4US
The Defense Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) is sponsoring a student competition on the future of robots for students in grades 9-12. It’s a great opportunity for a high school student to win a trip to California to meet robotic experts and see the next generation robots. The competition ends on April 1, 2015.
