JACKSON TWP — Potential drone and rover pilots and engineers of the future honed their skills Thursday morning, April 27, at the Sea, Air and Land Challenge, overseen by Penn State University and held at Seneca Valley Senior High School.
Thursday’s event was the culmination in a semester-long challenge for high school students to build and showcase a functional unmanned land, sea or air vehicle. On the day of the challenge, these vehicles take part in missions which have real-world relevance for national defense.
The competition brought 110 robotics students from five different schools across Western Pennsylvania, including Armstrong, Quaker Valley, Pine-Richland, Deer Lakes and Seneca Valley Senior High.
