The BEST Program
For the 27th year, the Kansas BEST Hub will host the annual BEST competition for teams
of high school and middle school students. The BEST competition motivates students
by challenging them to build a remote-controlled robot that accomplishes a defined
task within a competitive setting. Professional engineers and school teachers volunteer
to coach teams through the engineering design process. Using only the materials in
the BEST-provided kits, students have seven weeks to design, develop and test a robot
that can outperform their competitors. The weeks of hard work will culminate in a
thrilling day-long competition in November.
Participation in Kansas BEST is FREE! All equipment is provided to participating teams. The only cost to teams is their
transportation to events.
