About Us


The NW Alabama BEST Hub is a partnership between the Shoals Chamber of Commerce and Northwest-Shoals Community College
BEST is an acronym for Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology, and is a national program with fifty local competition sites in eighteen states. It is administered by BEST Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization, that sets curriculum and competition standards. The mission of BEST is to inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through participation in a competitive robotics program that fosters knowledge, teamwork, and communication. A major tenet of the program is that it is FREE to schools; there is no cost for robotics materials nor to enter a team.
Take advantage of the chance to get inspired by some truly talented individuals. Reserve your team's spot for 2019 now!
