Robots Robots Robots – Do you love Robots ?
Are you in G8-12 and have an interest and passion in Robotics?
Shanghai American School Puxi is holding an exciting Vex 16hr Robotics Build Event on Saturday 16th of September and Mr Brady has been able to reserve a number of places for NIS students to participate.
Students get to attend two workshops throughout the course of the day, and will get hands on, practical experience with building, programming and competing (for fun). This is a community focused event with an emphasis on team work and having fun.
This event is being organised and led by the Shanghai American School Robotics Officer team and places have been strictly limited. The event will run from 0600 – 2200 (yes, you did read that correctly, 6a.m. start!!!). So participating students would travel to Shanghai on Friday afternoon and return Sunday morning.
No equipment or experience is needed, everything will be provided. Students just need to bring a can-do attitude and breakfast! SAS will host a pizza party in the evening. Students get to partner up with a friend, and will then be put in mixed teams from there.
So, if you are interested in participating, please come and see Mr Brady in the Design Centre. There are a limited number of positions available, so come and see Mr Brady early so you don’t miss out.
