Whether its humanoids like Sophia, Domino's autonomous pizza delivery robot Nuro R2, or supercomputer like Watson, the rise of automation is showing no signs of slowing down. According to McKinsey, 88% of businesses worldwide plan to adopt robotic automation into their infrastructure.
The subject of robots in the workplace is a divisive one; but it's not all doom and gloom. Robots have and will continue to play an important role as we approach the future of work. In fact, robots have played an important role in fighting COVID-19.
As Windsor-Essex looks to diversify and compete on the world stage, STEM education, training and inspiration will be critical. Lucky for us, Windsor-Essex FIRST Robotics has spent nearly decade preparing and inspiring our future innovators and STEM leaders.
It was March 2019 since we last witnessed the energy that once filled the University of Windsor's St. Dennis Centre with 1000s of FIRST student and enthusiasts. As Frank Merrick said perfectly in his Miss You Blog Post, "there’s something magical about being around the energy of a FIRST team working on their robot or getting ready to go into the Chairman’s Award interview room. It’s precious and irreplaceable."
In this episode, we talk with members of the Windsor-Essex FIRST community on how FIRST has continued to shine despite the pandemic, what they miss most, on how FIRST® continues to push the limits of student success in STEM and beyond.
Episode Co-host: Adrianno Fallone, grade 11 student at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, FIRST student & Tech Connect High School Ambassador at WEtech Alliance.
Episode Guest: Windsor-Essex FIRST Coordinator, Sherri Lynn Koscielski and Windsor-Essex FIRST Alumni & Mentor, Jaeleen Koscielski
