Our third Annual "Competition in a Day" with the Ulster Project Delaware went extremely well. Eighteen Northern Irish teenagers from Portadown, Northern Ireland paired with US host teenagers and mentors from Dawgma 1712 and MOE 365, to compete in a simple FIRST-type game using Vex bots. We even had Vex uber-mentors Joe Perrotto and Rich Kressly on hand to guide the day.
Thanks to all who participated, especially those Dawgma and MOE team members!
If any FIRST team has an interest in conducting a project like this with a local Ulster Project (there are over 25 of them all over the US), check out the following websites:
