Blue Cheese Robotics (FRC Team 1086) is a student-run high school robotics team from Henrico County, VA founded in 2003. They are part of the FIRST Robotics Competition program, designing and building 100+ pound industrial robots to compete in exciting, fast-paced games with teams from around the world.
Blue Cheese Robotics strives to “brie the best they can brie,” working to inspire the next generation of STEM students through outreach and advocacy initiatives. They accrue thousands of volunteer hours yearly in hosting community and school demonstrations and festivals. Their outreach focuses on making STEM accessible and fun for all ages.
At RavenCon, Blue Cheese will be teaching attendees how to play CIAS award-winning multiplayer cybersecurity card games. Using a familiar tabletop CTG play mechanism, the games are designed to introduce players to real world cybersecurity concepts and tools. Players will build networks, implement security controls and attack their opponent, leveraging hacking and exploiting weaknesses to breach their defenses for victory.
Blue Cheese will also be demoing one of their robots. Attendees can get close-up and hands-on, learning directly from the students about the mechanical and technical design that goes into building it.
Blue Cheese Robotics is excited to bring their robot and hands-on educational STEM fun to RavenCon this year.
