Vex, MOE, and Ulster Project Delaware

In July, MOE 365 partnered with Ulster Project Delaware for a "Competition in a Day" we called the MOE Vex Challenge. Ulster Project Delaware brings groups of Catholic and Protestant students from Northern Ireland to Delaware for the month of July to have them interact and learn tolerance.

We created nine Vex teams consisting of Northern Ireland Catholic and Protestant students, their host students in the US, and a MOE student serving as a Vex mentor.

The event was very special. At first, students were wondering why this event was even on their schedule. None had built robots before and their usual days consisted of tours, travel, or charity work. By the middle of qualification rounds, the teens were hooked.

Check out the video summary of the event here...

The game we played included qualification and elimination rounds and was patterned after the FIRST rookie mentor kickoff activity.

The team developed a website to share learnings about the day, provide tools for other teams who might want to hold a Competition in a Day, and to link to video and photos of the event. We also included links to all the Ulster Projects in the United States, in case a team would like to partner with local programs.

Please take a look. We hope it is helpful directly or indirectly with your team's community service or teambuilding activities.

Enjoy.
