The Swarmathon University Competition 2019 team members from the University of Maryland participate in activities at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida on June 11, 2019. They are standing in front of a poster they created for the poster competition portion of Swarmathon. The University of New Mexico was the host for the physical competition held in May 2019. The student teams were at Kennedy to participate in a student/mentor panel, hear from speakers, get a behind-the-scenes tour of Kennedy Space Center, dine with an astronaut and receive awards during an awards ceremony. During Swarmathon University Challenge IV, students developed algorithms for robotic swarms that are robust and adaptable like the foraging strategies of ant colonies. The fourth and final Swarmathon was a combined virtual and physical competition.
