NH Department of Education and Intelitek STEM and CTE Education Foundation (ISCEF) Join Forces for the NH Cyber Robotics Coding Challenge

We are excited to announce the launch of the New Hampshire – Cyber Robotics Coding Competition (NH-CRCC). Open to all middle schools and high schools in New Hampshire, this virtual robotics competition gives our students the opportunity to experience coding and robotics first hand.

In addition to celebrating the top performers in the competition, the NH-CRCC will also recognize inclusiveness and diversity. Our objective is to capitalize on this opportunity and get as many of our students involved as possible.

"This event perfectly complements other work being done in NH to promote and support K-12 STEM education, including our Robotics Education initiative and our work to broaden participation in Engineering and Computer Science," said Frank Edelblut, Commissioner. "We are excited to work with a NH-based company that is doing so much for K-12 education."

"Robotics and coding is a pathway to industry in the 21st century," said Ido Yerushalmi, CEO of Intelitek in Derry, NH. "The CRCC Competition, combined with the gaming like interface of CoderZ makes coding and robotics fun. We expect to see the New Hampshire students loving this new approach to learning math, science, technology and engineering and are proud to work with our local schools on this event."

On October 30th we will be holding a Webinar / PD session. Access to the software will be provided and teachers will also get guidance on how to work with their students. Online competition events take place during Computer Science Week (December 4-10). This will all culminate on December 19th with face-to-face finals to compete for the Governor’s Award and award ceremony for all category winners.
