The Dawson Robotics Hackathon is a collaborative, interdisciplinary event where students work in teams to find creative solutions to a themed challenge. No prior experience is needed.

The themed challenge involves the construction of a micro-robot designed to perform a task. Teams will program their robots in Python using the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller. Student teams (minimum 2, maximum 4) will be provided with a kit of components and precise instructions. For students who are not part of a team at the time of registration, we will try to match you with other participants to form a team. Registration is separate from the ScienceFest presenters form.

At the prep workshop on May 1st, teams will be given their kits and learn about the precise details of the challenge. Throughout the following week, teams will build and code their solutions. On challenge day, teams present their projects and compete for prizes.

What is the Pico?

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is a small, affordable microcontroller that you program in Python. It connects to sensors, motors, and other electronics. It takes only a few minutes to get started building with this technology.

Introductory tutorials and resources will be provided for registered teams.

Logistics

The event will take place in 5B.16 (to be confirmed) according to a posted schedule of team heats and the final round. You are not required to be present at all times in order to compete with your team.
