Grades K-12

The challenge is to build a robotic animal or creature that will imitate some behavior that would be exhibited by a real animal or creature. The behavior must be demonstrated within the confines of an artificial environment that is a model of the environment of the real creature.

This challenge should also be accompanied by a writing or composition piece appropriate to the robotic project that was chosen. It could be a brochure with information about your animal, its environment and habits. It might be a creative writing piece or an advertising flyer about your creation. It could be a PowerPoint presentation and inform others about your animal, your robot or the process you went through in the creation of your robotic project. Likewise it could be a video or a multimedia presentation. This brochure, flyer, or presentation should be part of your Robotics Park display, should be your best work, and should be made available to others (for reading or viewing) who are touring the park. Presentations should be running and written material should be available and handed out to those interested.
