BEST Robotics Volunteers Needed

Save to Favorites

Take plywood and a box filled with items such as PVC pipe, screws and other hardware, an irrigation valve cover, piano wire, aluminum paint grid, a bicycle inner tube, a BRAIN (BEST Robotics Advanced Instruction Node programmable platform), and something called a micro-energy chain system and try, within six weeks, to design and build a functioning machine that can perform certain, specific tasks in three minutes. What do you get?

You get BEST, a middle and high school robotics competition whose mission is to engage and excite students about engineering, science, and technology as well as inspire them to pursue careers in these fields.

Through participation in our project-based STEM program, students learn to analyze and solve problems utilizing the Engineering Design Process, which helps them develop technological literacy skills. It is these skills that industry seeks in its workforce.

North Houston BEST competitions are possible only with the help of dedicated volunteers, like yourself, who donate their time and talent. During our event, volunteers interact with students, teachers, and parents. Our volunteers serve as role models and make the experience great for teams, and volunteers are inspired by the creativity and energy of the interactions. No prior experience with robotics, science, engineering, or competitions is needed -- we have roles for professionals and enthusiasts with all backgrounds! Won't you consider volunteering with us this year?
