The Halton District School Board will be hosting its 2017 For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics kickoff in early January.
Approximately 450 students, teachers, community mentors and parents are expected to attend the Saturday, January 7, 2017 kick-off, starting at 9 a.m. at Craig Kielburger Secondary School (1151 Ferguson Dr, Milton). Students and mentors will receive this year’s robotic challenge and will have six weeks to build their team’s robot before taking it to competitions across North America.
During the January 7 event, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, a key sponsor of the Halton District School Board’s Robotics program, will be recognized for their continued involvement.
