Last Saturday the non-profit organization that I lead this year, hosted its 4th annual robotics competition and 2nd robotics education seminar. 22 teams with about 130 people (contestants, coaches and some parents) participated the competition. Over 40 people - local engineers, professionals, college professors, and high school students - volunteered for the event as referees, judges, competition support, logistic support. Nicholas volunteered as an inspector. He was very serious about his duty. I served as an advisor to the event organizer, also helped with logistics.
We invited 3 speakers to our robotics education seminar, and 50 people (students, parents with very young children) attended the seminar.
I was heartened to see young children attentively listening to the seminar speakers,being mesmerized by the robotics competition. We achieved our goal to organize the competition - promote STEM, stimulate interests.
The dedication and hard work by volunteers made the event a success.
