MathWorks is hosting the first Cambridge Student Robot Challenge on Friday March 15th.
The competition will test the wits and programming skills of 10 teams of students who will compete to program Lego Mindstorm robots to navigate a special circuit using MATLAB and Simulink.
This is intended to support moves to get more students in the UK interested in computer programming to help meet the needs of the UK’s engineering and technology industries. "Giving students hands-on experience with industry-standard tools through project-based learning (such as this Robot Challenge) is a great way to engage students with the joy of programming," said MathWorks
Friday 15 March – the challenge starts at 10am, awards will be given at 5pm
