Free – the Robot Show is Saturday, March 20, at UIC Pavilion.
Do your kids love robots? The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Midwest Regional is an intense three-day competition showcasing robots developed and operated by dozens of high school teams from all over the world. It is held in Chicago at the UIC Pavilion. The Midwest Regional’s goal is to show that science and engineering can be exciting and fun by providing a spectator-friendly competition environment that has the feel of a major sporting event and a rock concert, complete with special lighting, music, a large video wall and energetic announcers. The Midwest Regional, like all FIRST Robotics competitions, is free and open to the public! If you do plan to attend, please remember to bring a pair of safety glasses if you wish to walk around in the pit area. Our team members, volunteers and staff are very friendly and will be happy to answer your questions or explain the game. More information is available at www.ilfrc.org
