Arts Council of Placer County, Auburn Arts Commission, and Auburn State Theatre Present
More Than Robots
The competition is more about life skills like problem-solving and communication than winning, and alliances and "coopertition" (cooperation and competition) are key components. Wealthier school districts with a lot of resources are teamed with less privileged programs. The teens, including some who might not fit in well with other kids, find a healthy outlet for their passions, make friends, and support their communities by giving back with their STEM know-how. They often grow up to mentor teams themselves. The stars of the film represent a range of races, genders, and ethnicities and come from the United States, Mexico, and Japan.
