Carl Hayden High School’s Falcon Robotics team celebrated its recent victory in an international competition with a gathering at Arizona State University’s Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.

 

In April, the 42-member Phoenix high school team bested 350 other high school robotics teams from 26 countries in taking the first-place prize in the competition in Atlanta.

 

Many of the Falcon team members came to the celebration at ASU for a demonstration of computer-game development, an exchange of ideas with ASU robotics experts, a congratulatory presentation by school of engineering Dean Deirdre Meldrum and Executive Dean Paul Johnson, and a dinner and a tour of the engineering school’s robotics facilities.

 

The engineering school has played a role in the education of the Falcon team through its outreach efforts to spark interest in science, engineering and technology among K-12 students.
