Re: Skills USA
I do SkillsUSA. It's pretty cool, I got a silver metal in Robotics and Automation technology last year without ever using the program before. It's definitely a good program but it's more of a solo competition where you don't make very many bonds outside of your team or school. I've noticed that it's more of and intra-school/county rivalry competition than anything.
Oh well, I go to States on the 9th. It'd be cool to get gold. |

Re: Skills USA
Although we don't do it at our school in Canada we something that sounds pretty similar (OK it sounds identical
) called Skills Canada. (anyone see the resemblance?) It also has 100 or so different competitions, including a robotics competiton a little similar to FIRST but with a bit smaller bots and field, 1 vs. 1, no KOP at all, etc. that a nearby school entered. This years game was to collect tennis balls and play connect 4 with them. (there is also CAD and animation and electronics and etc.) |
