Last weekend and this weekend are the 2011 BEST Robotics competitions across the nation. BEST Robotics is a high school robotics competition designed to inspire students to pursue careers in STEM through participation in a sports-like science and engineering based robotics competition.If you get an opportunity, I would check this competition out. If your an educator or student, you should look into starting one of these clubs at your school to encourage STEM. They have a competition each year that usually starts in September.
