Celebrating National Robots week, more than 550 of the top teams from middle schools, high schools and colleges in 14 countries around the world will compete at the 2011 VEX Robotics World Championship at the Walt Disney World in Orlando from April 14-16. More than just an exercise in programming and driving robots, these kids are using robotics to hone critical life skills including leadership, teamwork and project management, while increasing their understanding, interest and passion for STEM education and careers.
