The qualifying round of the First Lego League, an educational project promoting vocations in science, technology, art, and mathematics, will be held at the Manresa School of Engineering (EPSEM-UPC) on Avinguda de les Bases.
The event is organized by the robotics association PUCRA Manresa, composed of students from the campus. The competition will gather young people aged between 10 and 16 from all over Catalonia to test their skills in programming and teamwork.
This year's challenge, titled Unearthed: revelar el passat per descobrir el futur (Unearthing: revealing the past to discover the future), links robotics with history and archaeology. Participants must design and program an autonomous Lego robot to complete missions on a game board.
Hosting the competition at the university allows young people to get closer to the university and technological environment, breaking down barriers and offering real role models in the field of engineering.
The activity, which is open to the public, is supported by the College of Technical and Industrial Engineers of Manresa (CETIM) and the European project MERIT, coordinated by UPC Manresa and co-financed by the Digital Europe Programme.
