Dear educators, students, and parents/guardians,

I hope this message reaches you while you and your beloved ones are safe and healthy. On behalf of the Engineering Technology at NSU, I want to welcome you to our Fall 2024 Robotics competition and Smart Structures Show.

The Department of Engineering Technology at Northwestern State University will be hosting its Fall Robotics Competition and Smart Structures Show (RC&S3) on November 18, 2024. All middle schools within 200 miles radius of Natchitoches city are welcome to participate. This year, we are again organizing a smart structures show to provide opportunities for high schools and other organizations that are involved in robotics related projects to show their creativity at our event. There is no registration fee for the competition or show, however, those interested in participating in the competition must respond to the announcement by submitting a letter of intent and a press/photo release form (for each team member) no later than November 11th, 2024. All forms are attached.

Documents should be sent to Dr. Shahriar Hossain at hossains@nsula.edu

Please note that our theme for our camp this year is Inspired by NASA’s Robotics Alliance project. We strongly encourage students to participate in all competition challenges in order to maximize their benefit from the designed STEM activities.  We also expect participants to design all their activities around our theme.

Come test your computer programming skills and compete with other Louisiana students for cool prizes!  A fun day is planned at Northwestern State University with educational experiences, and social activities. The Department of Engineering Technology will provide complementary refreshments.  Please bring your own lunch. Parents are welcome too! We are very excited about our Fall event and can’t wait to see your robotics software and hardware skills!
