New Special Olympics Sport: Robotics!

December 13, 2016 By UW READi Lab

unifiedrobotics

It was an exciting weekend at the Pacific Science Center, with the first ever Special Olympics Unified Robotics Championship! Unified Robotics is a program in which local Seattle students with and without intellectual disabilities work together to design robots. The program’s inspiration comes from Kendall Foster, a high-school teen with autism who couldn’t find a robotics team to join. Her sister Delaney worked together with a high school teacher to develop the Unified Robotics program, modeled after Special Olympics Unified Sports.  Check out the full article to learn more about the event and the unique advantages students with intellectual abilities bring to their robotics teams.
