- FIRST Encounters
-
- After a very successful pilot competition called 'Maize Craze', U.S. FIRST,
- a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to increase elementary and high
- school students' level of interest in math and science, is doing it again.
- FIRST Encounters is the national creative engineering competition featuring
- school, business and university partnerships. Played out in the spirit of
- sport, the competition immerses 9th and 10th grade students in the exciting
- world of engineering. Teams consisting of participating students and
- engineers from partner business or university will have 6 weeks to design
- and build a working 'vehicle' which will then go head to head in a four-team
- gladiator-style competition on a specified arena. The national championship
- will be held on February 26 and 27 in Manchester, NH.
- If you would like to enter a team, call U.S. FIRST at (603) 666-3906,
- FAX (603) 624-0573. Entrance fee required. Email: anjay@mecha.mit.edu
