KEYNOTE

The Case for Caring: Why Competition Matters

Coming Soon

This keynote studies how a mentor's genuine commitment to competition results is key for maximizing student success. Guiding teams toward building a successful robot, what is called the "campfire we all circle around", fosters self-efficacy and inspiration in students. This session will explore tools to consider and case studies of following these strategies. Building better robots builds better people, both your students and yourself.
