The University of Northern Iowa is proud to host the Iowa Regional FIRST® Robotics Competition.  Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, the FIRST Robotics Competition will bring together more than 50 teams from the Midwest and beyond to compete in the University of Northern Iowa McLeod Center.  Each high school team will design, build, and program their robot to play this year’s game. During each match, witness two brand-new alliances of 3 robots each face off against each other. Come join us as we celebrate a decade of Iowa Regional FIRST Robotics Competition events for Iowa teams!  This event is FREE and open to the public on Thursday-Saturday.  See link for additional details.
