Students compete in the areas of engineering, computation, journalism and art.
The winner of the supercomputer division receives a week-long internship at Ames to conduct research at the Numerical Aerodynamic Simulation Facility. National Engineers Week is a week during which NASA engineers and scientists visit Bay Area classrooms to focus on career opportunities in engineering. REP organizes several robotic competitions, including the two described below, and will be offering online robotics courses and labs for credit in the future. Teachers and members of supporting organizations are involved in a three-day tutorial to learn robotic technology and integration into regular math and science curriculum prior to building the robots.
