We are excited about having your middle or high school students participate at one of our fall 2016 BEST Robotics Competitions.    We provide your student teams all the robot materials and there is no fee to participate in this 6 week competition kicking off in September.

This table provides the current tentative plans for the 2016 BET THE FARM Game competitions in Colorado.

BEST Robotics Competitions will provide your school - your students and faculty - with a unique opportunity to partner with higher education and industry to:

1.  Engage students in activities that demystify engineering and make it fun;
2.  Prepare students for the rigors of higher education engineering programs;
3. Equip students with the technological skills need for tomorrow's workforce.

BEST Robotics, Inc. has 48 hubs in 16 states with 3 hubs (+ 1 new hub starting later this spring) in Colorado.

• Front Range BEST - southern and western Denver Metro Area Schools including Douglas County Schools and El Paso County and Teller County Schools in preparation for upcomng Pikes Peak BEST

BEST hubs are volunteer, non-profit organizations with the mission to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science and technology.

Each of the Colorado Hubs will provide a Teacher/Mentor training in the summer. Rocky Mountain BEST and Front Range BEST will hold a joint 2-day training session 21-22 July. SoCo BEST training is scheduled for Trinidad State Junior College with the first day on 1 June and a second day for robot build to be scheduled for later in July or early August.  This training event will provide a detailed view of BEST, information about how to mentor a team and how to build a robot, advice from teachers and mentors, and even a mini-robot competition.  This training is for teachers and mentors ONLY, not students.  Sign up your school soon to ensure you are able to participate in these training events.
