PROGRAM INFORMATION: Students interested in the most recent, innovative technology have a unique opportunity for training in the cutting-edge Robotics Industry. Through a partnership with the Technology Collaborative and California University of Pennsylvania, along with guidance and support from Carnegie Mellon University, students will study Robotics using curriculum developed through the National Robotics Engineering Center. They will move through a series of introductory activities into more advanced design and control challenges, using the same state-of-the-art equipment as California University. Students will study robotics technology case studies and participate in hands-on lab experiences. They can earn up to 17 college credits while training at A.W. Beattie Career Center for use in continuing their education at California University. Because the application of robotics systems is beneficial to many industries, there are numerous opportunities for robotics technicians in the Pittsburgh area, as well as nationally.

    FIRST ROBOTICS: Students from A.W. Beattie Career Center's local FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics team will be participating in the organization's 2011 Regional Robotics Competition March 10 - 12th at the Petersen Events Center.

    The competition will feature 39 total robotics teams from several states and Canada. The teams will be judged not only on their robot's ability to perform a specific task, but also on teamwork, design, engineering and sportsmanship. Teams will also have the ability to advance to the FIRST Championships, held this April in St. Louis, Missouri.
