• Live Stream with Rodney Brooks: The Year of the Robot, Wizeo

  Scaremongers play on the idea that robots will simply replace people on the job. In fact, they can become our essential collaborators, freeing us up to spend time on less mundane and mechanical challenges. This shift is happening now, not just in the industrial sphere but in our everyday lives. Rodney Brooks, of iRobot and Rethink Robotics fame will explain why 2014 is a key turning point in our increasing collaboration with robots, and answer questions from the virtual audience! This event is hosted by Wizeo. Access to the talk is by donation, with proceeds benefiting BUILD: a hands-on entrepreneurship training and college preparation program for underprivileged high-schoolers.

  Students throughout Puerto Rico are invited to celebrate the importance of robots to manking by designing their own poster titled Robots Rock. Eureka STEM is celebrating National Robotics Week from April 5-13, 2014 by launching the Annual Poster Contest in Puerto Rico during the whole month of April. This year’s theme is ROBOTS ROCK! We hope students, parents and teachers will participate and support our efforts to inspire children towards the love of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Participants will be divided into two categories assigned by school grade: 4th – 5th grades and 6th-8th grades. An external panel of judges will select a winner for each category of participants.
