Mr. Peter Brooks and the Computer Science Department students participated in the Zero Robotics High School Competition 2017 live streamed, and it was the International Space Station Programming Challenge! Stuyvesant’s alliance was with a High School in Italy. On January 11th, Stuyvesant placed 1st! Congratulations!
What is Zero Robotics? Zero Robotics is a robotics programming competition where the robots are SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites) inside the International Space Station. The competition starts online, on this website, where teams program the SPHERES to solve an annual challenge. After several phases of virtual competition in a simulation environment that mimics the real SPHERES, finalists are selected to compete in a live championship aboard the ISS. An astronaut will conduct the championship competition in microgravity with a live broadcast!
