GA BEST Robotics

BEST Robotics is a non–profit volunteer organization which began in Dallas, Texas in 1993 to motivate students to pursue careers in engineering, science and technology. Dr. Glenn Allen of Southern Polytechnic State University has been instrumental in promoting this program in Georgia, and has served as its Director since 2003.

Southern Polytechnic has hosted the event the past three years, and students from around the state, with the support of their parents and home town teachers and friends, come to compete in a variety of areas. By offering this competition, Dr. Allen has been able to promote Georgia’s technical colleges like Southern Poly, and has also had the opportunity to encourage high school and middle school students to explore the field of engineering, and specifically Mechanical Engineering Technology, as a field of study and a career choice. Marietta NDT has gladly sponsored this event for several years both financially and by offering employees as advisors and judges.
