RoboCup Junior returns for 2013

It’s RoboCup Junior time again – so don’t miss out on all the robotic fun!

The event, which will again be hosted by the University of Newcastle, will see students from both primary and secondary schools compete in a series of robotic challenges including robotic dancing and soccer.

Last year’s event saw 160 participants from 15 schools across the Hunter Region compete across the day with over 140 students witnessing the action as spectators.

The purpose of RoboCup Junior is to educate and nurture student’s ability to program, learn a logical sequence to solve complex problems, discover the potential of artificial intelligence and most importantly having fun while doing it!

The event kicks off on 1 August 2013 at 9am, hosted at the Forum (University of Newcastle).

Spectators are more than welcome to attend at the cost of $2.00 per person and must register by sending an email to Ryan Jeffery. Any students, teachers or parents wanting to know more about the tournament can also contact Ryan by phone on 4921 7997 or email Ryan.Jeffery@newcastle.edu.au.
