馬薩諸塞州北安普敦/ACCESSWIRE /2024年5月15日/最近，Entergy是河口地區FIRST機器人競賽的主辦贊助商，該競賽在路易斯安那州肯納的龐恰特雷恩中心舉行。這項爲期一週的活動不僅僅是一場競賽，它還是科學、技術、工程和數學（STEM）的年度慶祝活動，在塑造我們年輕人的未來方面起着至關重要的作用。
The competition brought together hundreds of high school students from across the region, country and even globally. Under strict rules, limited time and resources, students were challenged to design a team "brand," enhance their teamwork skills, and construct and program industrial-scale robots to engage in a challenging field game alongside like-minded peers. According to FIRST Robotics, "It's as close to real-world engineering as a student can get."
該競賽彙集了來自該地區、國家乃至全球的數百名高中生。在嚴格的規則、有限的時間和資源下，學生面臨的挑戰是設計團隊 “品牌”，增強團隊合作技能，建造和編程工業規模的機器人，與志同道合的同齡人一起參與具有挑戰性的野外遊戲。根據FIRST Robotics的說法，“它儘可能接近現實世界的工程學。”
