The challenge calls on engineers of all levels to engage with Imahara through a variety of topics and series of challenges in the pursuit of new ideas.
The programme consists of Innovation Spotlight, Empowering Innovation Challenge and the Innovation Hub.
The Innovation Spotlight is a series of webisodes, led by Imahara. The first topic is about Robotics as Imahara talks with professors and aspiring engineers at Carnegie Mellon University.
The Robotics Empowering Innovation Challenge is the first of a series on a variety of engineering topics. It is co-sponsored by Platinum Program Partner Texas Instruments, with Diamond-Level sponsorship partners Molex and Panasonic.
Members of the engineering community are invited to submit a picture or video and share their robotic creations. The community will help decide who has the top engineering concept, based on which ideas receive the most votes. The Mythbusters presenter will select the Grand Prize winner. The top three entries will receive STEAM cards and Mouser swag bags. The Grand Prize winner will also receive signed Grant memorabilia.
The company has also launched a Robotics Technology website which provides resources for developers to learn about the latest advances and the newest components from the distributor for building robotics systems.
