MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Feb. 7, 2025 -- Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) hosted its fourth annual Hyundai Initiative for Robotics Excellence (HIRE) School Robotics Tournament on February 6 and 7, 2025. The VEX IQ Robotics competition was held at the HMMA Training Center and was comprised of teams from Montgomery public, Autauga County, and Selma city schools.
In 2019, HMMA teamed up with Auburn University's Southeastern Center of Robotics Education (SCORE) to start the HIRE program. The goal of HIRE is to establish robotics teams at local schools to seed the next generation of a technically proficient workforce. The HIRE program will establish a much-needed emphasis on STEM education and academic excellence within the public school system.
"At HMMA, we know that studies show that robotics is one of the most effective and engaging ways to get young people interested in STEM, science, technology, engineering and math, through the hands-on learning that they have with them through the competitions like we have here today," said Scott Posey, Manager of Public Relations at HMMA.
120 Montgomery, 80 Autauga County, and 50 Selma City public school students competed in the competition with Autauga and Selma competing on Feb 6 and Montgomery competing on Feb 7. The competition pits local schools' robotics teams and their student-created robots against one another in skills trials, engineering notebook judging, qualifying matches, and championship matches. Engineering team members from HMMA and Montgomery Preparatory Academy For Career Technologies (MPACT) served as judges.
