With so
many social media options, it’s hard to pick and choose what ones make the most
sense for conferences. We typically find ourselves using Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube, with a splash of Facebook for our annual EMC World Conferences.
But…we’re
always looking for ways to spice it up!
When Len Devanna shared his great idea of
using FourSquare at EMC World to drive donations of Vex Robotics kits to middle schools and
high schools in support of student competitions, as we’ve done in the past, I
was all for it! This is something really cool!!
A bit about the Vex Robotics Competition
In addition
to having a great time and building amazing robots, through their participation
in the VEX Robotics Competition
and their work within their team, students build their interest in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics and also gain valuable life skills. VEX
Robotics scrimmages and competitions are held in many different cities, states
and countries. Check out their website
for more information!
Using FourSquare to drive donations
at EMC World
EMC’s support for this program enables students around the world to pursue their passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, so we hope you’ll join us in our Spots4Bots campaign!!
