INTELITEK MEDIA ALERT: CYBER ROBOTICS CODING COMPETITION FINALS TO BE HELD IN PITTSBURGH
WHAT: The final round of the Cyber Robotics Coding Competition coding and virtual robotics tournament
WHERE: NORTH-CENTRAL REGIONAL FINALS. Pittsburgh, PA – Carnegie Mellon University – Gates & Hillman Center. 4902 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 12th from 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
WHO: Students in grades 5-8 from schools throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri
DERRY, N.H. (PittsburghNewsWire.com) Elementary and middle school students will be gathering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg University in Harrisburg, respectively on Dec. 12 for the final round of the North-Central Region 2019 Cyber Robotics Coding Competition (CRCC), being sponsored by the Intelitek STEM and CTE Education Foundation (ISCEF). The final round is a live, in-person, one-day event in which two student representatives from each finalist school will compete in the execution of robotics and programming challenges. The event will begin at 9:30 a.m.
Working as a team, the students from each finalist school will be challenged to complete advanced coding missions under a time constraint. As with the previous tournament rounds, competitors will undertake their missions on Intelitek’s award-winning CoderZ Cyber Robotics Learning Environment, a cloud-based programming platform that features a graphical simulation of LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots. Student competitors between 5th and 8th grade will activate a virtual robot––or “cyber robot” –– via the coding interface and watch the results of their programming in a real-time simulation.
CRCC judges will evaluate the teams’ total score as well as other variables, including time to complete, number of missions attempted and completed, team strategy, and quality of code. Special guests, including professionals, college students, and graduate students will attend the state final to speak with students, educators and families about their STEM/STEAM experiences and STEM/STEAM-related study and career opportunities.
