Garmin gives back, helping local students explore world of science and engineering
Currently, there are are dozen Garmin engineers who are giving of their time and knowledge to high school students from the Kansas City area competing in the annual robotics competition. Within the last month, FIRST robotics competition had their kickoff at Garmin Headquarters where 60 teams came to learn what this year's game would be. Each team represented one school from the Kansas City area and one team even had up to 75 students on it. Each team was given a box of metals, gears, motors and other useful materials needed to build a robot weighing close to 120 pounds. The building phase takes place over a 6-week period. After the kickoff at HQ, six teams stayed at Garmin to receive help and mentoring from four of our engineers. They spent the day creating the basis for the robot in the Garmin facilities and had the opportunity to be around others who were also interested in science. All teams involved will compete at the Kansas City Regional competition, which will be held at Hale Arena, March 14-16. Best of luck to the teams and may the best 'bot win!
