Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will this week host young robotic innovators from across the Riverina with the RoboCup Junior Challenge to be held from 9.30am to 2pm on Wednesday 11 June. On the day of the competition in the CSU Convention Centre, over 100 students from schools around the region will participate in three separate team challenges; dance, rescue, and soccer. The Challenge aims to develop teamwork and technical skills in an environment of participation, fun and excitement. Lecturer at the CSU School of Computing and Mathematics, Mr Allen Benter, said, "The competition is the culmination of plenty of hard work by students in building and programming their robots, and is an opportunity to show their ingenuity and creativity to solve complex problems. Robotics is an emerging career and maybe some of these students will be designing and building the domestic, industrial and manufacturing robots of the future." The competition follows an earlier training day for the Riverina students at CSU in Wagga Wagga on Thursday 27 March.
