Behind The Scenes At NASA’s High School Robotics Competition #makereducation
Great coverage of the NASA High School Robotics Competition from FastCoExist.
Each year, hundreds of high school students gather throughout the U.S. and South America to pit their home-grown robots against each other. Tensions run high as some of the brightest teenagers in the world compete with the kind of fervor you’ll find at any sporting event—and about as much awkwardness as a school dance.

Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
