Looney Challenges
Looney the Robot and his trainer, Hunter Lloyd, Professor in the Gianforte School
of Computing, have met many students from Montana giving the "How to Train Your Robot"
assembly. Over 6,500 kindergarten through 12th grade students watched Hunter, Looney
and friends during the 2013-2014 school year. After the assemblies, Hunter and Looney
received emails from students, teachers, and parents asking for more information about
how to continue learning more about computing and robotics. With their requests in
mind, we decided to create Looney Challenges.
Our Looney Challenge goal:
To encourage Montana K-12 students to continue to learn about computing and, eventually, attend and graduate from a university with a degree in computer science. Of course, Looney hopes our Montana students will attend Montana State University - GO CATS!
This year's Looney Challenge will begin September 23rd, 2015 and conclude June 30th, 2016. Teachers can register at any time and earn points to win prizes for their school! Also, stay tuned to the Looney Challenges webpage for updates!
