NASA Glenn Center Director Dr. Jimmy Kenyon helped kick off this year\u2019s event by addressing the student participants. He shared that NASA Glenn specializes in propulsion and communications, that the center is vital to the region and country, and that \u201cthe road to Moon and Mars goes through Ohio\u201d thanks to the center\u2019s contributions to the agency\u2019s missions. He also highlighted several aerospace projects underway at the center and explained how engineering and math skills used in robotics apply to real-life engineering challenges.  <\/p>\n

Fifty-six teams of high school students competed in the robotics competition, which aims to inspire young people to be STEM leaders and innovators by engaging them in mentor-based engineering. <\/p>\n
