Event Summary Registration Opening Assembly 3 Workshops Trivia & Pitch

Finals Awards & Closing Lunch

Students and educators will learn about the 2015-16 National

STEM League (NSL) by engaging in a 1-day version of it. A Points Race begins with trivia in the opening assembly and one school will

take home a Racing Challenge car. Students become owners of a

National STEM League team, crafting a 1-minute “fever pitch” to promote it.

Registration

1. Hand in waivers (one for each person) and Go-Passes (one for lead chaperone and every student). Pick up lanyards and guide

book. 2. Pick up T-shirts to wear over existing clothing. They are color-

coded to help event staff stay organized!

Opening Assembly The assembly begins with trivia to kick off the 1-day NSL Points

Race then opens up into a lively conversation with STEM mentors and professionals.

Workshops From the assembly, groups break out to rotate through three workshops.

1. Racing & Energy Challenges: A fast-paced ‘e-board game’

guides students through mechanical, electrical and aerodynamic design features of the Racing Challenge car,

Robot Rover and the energy systems that drive them.

2. Rover & Innovation Challenges: Through these two challenges,

teams combine software and hardware, learning to speak the

language of robots. The English Language has 26 letters. The language of robots has two: 0 and 1. In this short workshop,

these concepts are introduced through a workshop called “Binary Beats”. A SolidWorks (3-D CAD) and 3-D printing demo

showcases the connection between computer skills, coding and vehicle design.

3. Enterprise, Data-Driven Design & Community Outreach: Every Racing, Rover, Energy and Innovation team engages in these

three activities in addition to the head-to-head challenge. In this workshop, students create a 2-D (paper) Rover or Racecar

and 1 minute pitch to ‘sell’ their NSL team (or some other

product or service idea!).

Pitch Finals and Closing Assembly This active day wraps up with a lightning round of trivia and the

best 1-minute pitches. After awards, lunch is served!
