The 2010 Olympieda project came to an end in a thrilling, exiting and spectacular event. This year was all about the world of robots.
6000 students participated in the early tests that were held in January, and 30 of them took part in the fascinating summer work shop that was held at MadaTech and the Technion. Last week the top eight students arrived at the final quiz that was held in front of an audience of hundreds of enthusiastic students, cheering their friends excitedly.
The quiz included three rounds of questions, the first two rounds removing two participants. The top four participants made it to the final round, in which they answered questions about the NAO robot which stood in front of them and was operated by Mr. Natanel Dukan, Aldebaran Robotics representative, the company which produced NAO, who came especially from France. The questions about NAO’s demonstrations were asked by a special guest from the U.S, Prof. David Ahlgren from the Engineering Department in Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
