Robotics
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals and young people together to solve an engineering design problem in an intense and competitive way. The program is a life-changing, career-molding experience and a lot of fun. Each year the competition reaches more than 58,000 students on over 2,500 teams in competitions held across the USA and in other parts of the world. The teams come from Brazil, Canada, Chile, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, the U.K. and every state in the U.S. The competitions are high-tech spectator sporting events, the result of lots of focused brainstorming, real world teamwork, dedicated mentoring, project timelines and deadlines.
Colleges, universities, corporations, businesses, and individuals provide scholarships to our participants. Involved engineers experience again many of the reasons they chose engineering as a profession, and the companies they work for contribute to the community while they prepare and create their future workforce. The competition shows students that the technological fields hold many opportunities and that the basic concepts of science, math, engineering, and invention are exciting and interesting.
Science Fair
The Lowcountry Regional Science and Engineering Fair (LRSEF) will be held at the College Center in Trident Technical College Campus on March 19, 2020. The LRSEF is the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and Broadcom MASTERS Competition affiliate for Charleston, Dorchester Two, Dorchester Four, Berkeley, Colleton and Georgetown Counties. This brings together eligible students in grades 5-12 who compete for national, regional, and local awards, as well as the opportunity to advance to the aforementioned competitions. The College of Charleston is the title sponsor for the LRSEF.
These students are our future and we are requesting assistance in the form of judging. A registration page has been set up for prospective judges under the section of “Judges” on the page for the Lowcountry Science Fair. It would be great if you could register with your name, contact details, area of expertise, and choice of students’ grade level. Please see the link below:
