Quincy Sponsors BotsIQ For Students
Quincy Resource Group is proud to support the 1st Annual Battle for Washington County - a BotsIQ tournament which will be held July 23rd from 12 noon to 4:00pm at the Washington County Fair. BotsIQ is a program that teaches young people that manufacturing can be educational and fun, and is a proven method of getting students to consider careers in Advanced Manufacturing. Using a combination of math, science, electronics, mechanics and engineering skills in a teamwork environment, students compete to build 15 pound robots with the objective being to have their robot disable their opponent's bot in a 3 minute match and progress through the double-elimination tournament.
Seven teams from five area high schools will compete for the "Big Gear" trophy and cash prizes for their school's BotsIQ program. All of the robots entered into the competition will be on display for public viewing inside the Fair Park. For more information about BotsIQ, please click here.
