BEST Teams Deliver Low-G Innovations at Alabama A&M University’s South BEST Robotics Championship Dec 13-14, 2024
Season 32 – LowG at BEST Robotics program peaks at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, AL. Engage in a masterful celebration of talents and skills.
A Unique Learning Experience
The BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) program offers an unparalleled opportunity for experiential, hands-on, project-based learning. It's a transformative experience where being different is the standard approach, allowing teams to discover their true potential for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Low-G 2024: A Lunar Challenge
This year's championship, hosted at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, presents a distinctive scenario: students will tackle challenges within a moon-based space station, addressing complex issues created by changing gravitational environments. Participants must leverage research, critical thinking, and collaborative skills to design a functional "home away from home" in space.
Support and Vision: A New Home for South BEST Robotics
Alabama A&M University, in Huntsville, Alabama, is the new home of South BEST Robotics, and audiences will witness a competition like no other in this year’s inaugural championship Dr. Peter Eley, Dean of the College of Education Humanities and Behavioral Science, is thrilled to support the upcoming championship:
“The College of Education Humanities and Behavioral Sciences is always happy to support programs that provide hands-on out-of-school experiences for pre-college students. The more opportunities students get to exercise their brilliance in various forms, the more confidence and strength they gain in the process. Pre-service students gain many things from these experiences, such as teamwork, computer programming, and building resiliency as part of their overall skill set. We are delighted that Toyota, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and Alabama Technology in Motion have partnered with us to bring this experience to the Greater Huntsville area.”
Charley Spencer, Co-Chair of South BEST and a former TVA leader, added:
"TVA, BVI, and Tennessee Valley Robotics are proud to sponsor the inaugural South BEST championship at AAMU. Robotics and STEM education are critical for developing the workforce of the future in the Tennessee Valley region."
Open to the Public
The championship, scheduled for December 13-14, 2024, is an exciting celebration of future skills. The public is invited to participate—whether as observers, volunteers, or competition judges. Skills for success, the BEST way, has a place for everyone to make a difference!
