 SANFORD — “It feels awesome,” said Jonah Elliott, 他和他的三里中学队友们举起了他们的冠军奖杯和最佳综合奖.

SanLee Stallionss机器人建造队刚刚赢得了中央卡罗莱纳社区大学机器人竞赛, held Nov. 20 at the college’s Lee County Campus.

Teams from SanLee and West Lee Middle School, in Sanford, and Anne Chestnutt Middle School, in Fayetteville, 为了这次比赛，你花了几个月的时间学习和实践吗. All are preparing for the upcoming FIRST Lego League Tournament.

FIRST(科学技术激励和认可基金会)是一个国际非营利组织，它与乐高公司合作举办机器人竞赛，以引起年轻人对数学的兴趣, science and technology.

The local Robotics Competition, co-sponsored by the college, Communities in Schools of Lee County, and Lee County Schools, was a scrimmage, 让本地队伍有机会在FLL比赛前与他们的机器人进行一场比赛.

“比赛鼓励学生们继续学习STEM(科学), technology, engineering and math) studies,” said Virginia Brown, competition coordinator and 在线电子游戏网赌 vocational/technical liaison. “学院是我们社区的高科技资源中心. 机器人竞赛是我们为年轻人提供的另一个社区stem相关项目, like our weekend workshops and summer camps.”

为2010年混战和FLL锦标赛“身体向前挑战,学生团队探索了生物医学工程的世界，建造并编程了乐高头脑风暴机器人来模拟生物医学程序. This included programming the robots to carry out tasks such as inserting a “stent” in a plastic “artery”; placing a Lego “patch” on a “heart”; repairing a broken plastic “bone” with a Lego “cast”; and placing a Lego “pacemaker” into a “heart.”

为比赛和FLL争霸赛做准备是自愿的, after-school activity by the teachers/coaches and the students. They spent several months researching biomedical challenges, preparing a presentation, building and programming the robots, and practicing the tasks with them.

“我希望我的学生在学习中获得乐趣，”三里的科学老师Shannon Willaert说. “They loved doing this. The engineering concepts were there, and they also made friends, learned problem-solving skills, learned teamwork, and found out that there are many ways to solve problems.”

当宣布他们的机器人获得最佳设计奖时，西李骄傲队欢呼雀跃. Coach Shawnteya Hayes, who teaches STEM, 她说，她的学生从9月份就开始参加课外活动了.

“It was fun,” said Joseph Wilkins, of the West Lee team. “We got to do all sorts of fun stuff.”

栗子学校的火之星队获得了最佳团队奖，学校的全明星黄蜂队获得了最佳演讲奖.

EMC公司首席测试工程师Don Hon担任首席评委. 自2007年开始比赛以来，他一直参与其中.

“机器人竞赛教会孩子们如何将数学和科学知识应用到他们拥有的日常物品中, like Legos,” he said. “这激励他们把学到的知识用在其他事情上，而不是搭积木. It’s a great activity.”

Other judges for the competition were: John Dills, manager of Operations for Progress Energy; Tony Reece, Instrumentation and Control technician for Progress Energy; Ray Dawson, Senior Training Professional for Pfizer; and Laurie Lympany, engineering technologies recruiter for 在线电子游戏网赌.

乔纳·艾略特不仅仅是在准备和参加比赛时度过了一段美好的时光. 这符合他未来的职业目标——成为一名工程师——甚至可能是一名乐高设计师. 有一天，他的一个设计可能会成为第一届乐高锦标赛的一部分.

中国中交工程技术部主席Steve Lympany听到这个消息后笑了.

“This competition is great,” he said. “The kids are seeing what science and technology are all about. I get a kick out of their creativity. Somewhere in here are our future engineers.”
