Third Annual Alma College Robotics Challenge

The Robotics Challenge is an invitational high school robotics tournament using the Lego Mindstorms Robotics Platform. Teams construct robots which compete against each other in an attempt to gather eggs and return them to their nest.  The Third Annual Alma College Robotics Challenge is coming up this May 3!  Read more on our contest webpage, or contact Dr. John Hawley for information on how your high school could participate.

 

Thirty-four percent of Alma students participate in intercollegiate athletics. Alma College competes at the NCAA Division III level as a member of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the oldest existing athletic conference in the nation.

 

Graduate Profile

Alyson Crabtree

Alyson Crabtree
Graduation: 1990
Major: Computer Science

Alyson Crabtree started computer programming in high school. After struggling with her college decision, she decided to pursue her dream at Alma College.

“When I was looking for colleges, I was determined to get far away from home and assert my independence,” the 1990 graduate says. “To me, that meant getting out of Michigan. I visited some New England schools and was planning on heading east. But Alma kept pestering me, and when I objectively looked at what it had to offer, it met all of my criteria — liberal arts, computer science major and a small school.”
