The Science Olympiad’s newest Div. C event, Detector Building, is now one of the 23 approved events for this year’s competition. TI has plenty of resources to help your team be competitive.
The Detector Building event combines coding, engineering, math and science into a working sensor that is calibrated and coded to collect data. The program students write will cause various LEDs to turn on or off based on the temperature readings. During the competition, students must adjust their code and calibration equation closely to match that of a store-bought digital thermometer.
