Vlog Challenge
All schools have been challenged to make a vlog of what they do with their own robot. Submitting a vlog for this challenge is extended until January 31. ’’This can be about putting the robot together, but also about what all the students are teaching their technical friend,’’ explains Bas de Nooijer of Innovatiecluster Drachten. ''An encounter between Santa and EDU robot is of course also a nice vlog item. Or how students practice the table of 10 together with the robot.'' All vlogs are collected on the Facebook page of EDU robotics. ,,From all the entries we will choose a top five. During the event, we will announce three winners. They will all receive an extra robot buddy for the classroom and an exc lusive meet & greet with André Kuipoers. The winning class will also receive an exclusive guided tour at Phillips in Drachten. There the students can see real industrial robots at work!‘’ Still want to upload a vlog? Then do so here.
