U.S. FIRST National Robotic Competition

小行星9554532 美国FIRST是一个非营利组织，其使命是在当今的学生中创造对科学和数学学习的需求。 创造这种需求需要改变态度和先入为主的观念，这些观念一直使美国学生远离技术。 机器人竞赛是我们目前在国家一级实现这一目标的一种方式。 该竞赛的模式是基于马萨诸塞州理工学院（MIT）的一门课程，在该课程中，工程专业的学生面临的挑战是在班级间的竞争中在时间限制下创造一个产品。 美国FIRST国家机器人竞赛通过涉及高中，大学和企业工程界之间的合作关系扩展了这一想法。 在七周的时间里，工程师、教师和学生团队共同努力，利用美国FIRST提供的标准部件套件设计和制造无线电控制设备。 然后，球队在地区和国家锦标赛的比赛中相互竞争。 这些机器必须由两名学生操作，由两名教练陪同-其他学生，教师或工程师。 全国冠军是全国锦标赛的赢家。 通过为学生提供现实生活中的榜样，并通过使用大型消费品公司使用的相同技术，学生变得积极，并开始看到科学的乐趣，声望和专业回报。 ***

9554532 Kamen U.S. FIRST is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a demand for science and mathematics learning among today's students. Creating this demand requires a change in attitudes and preconceptions that had been turning American students away from technology. The Robotic Competition is one way we are currently accomplishing this goal on a national level. The model for this competition is based on a course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where engineering students are challenged to create a product under time contraints in an interclass competition. The U.S. FIRST National Robotic Competition extends this idea by involving partnerships between high schools, universities and the corporate engineering world. In seven weeks, teams of engineers, teachers and students work together to design and build radio-controlled devices from a standard kit of parts provided by U.S. FIRST. Teams then compete against each other in matches in regional and national tournaments. The machines must be operated by two students, accompanied by two coaches -- other students, teachers or engineers. The National Champion is the winner of the national tournament. By providing real-life role models for students and by using the same techniques used by large consumer product companies, students become motivated and begin to see science as fun, prestigious and professionally rewarding. ***
