Big Hero 6— Friends and Robots: Youth Robotics Teams in Central Florida
Program Description
On a scale of one to ten, how are awesome are robots? Learn about student robotics teams and competitions in Florida from participating FIRST Tech Challenge group, Team Z.I.P. Ties! Alongside a screening of Big Hero 6, Z.I.P. Ties will showcase their robotics work and discuss their experience on a youth robotics team (and how you can get involved!).
Film Synopsis
A special bond develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes.
Robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter) learns to harness his genius, thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago (Jamie Chung), neatnik Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr.), chemistry whiz Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), and fanboy Fred (T.J. Miller). When a devastating turn of events propels them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a robot named Baymax (Scott Adsit)—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery. Big Hero 6 was the highest grossing animated film of 2014, and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
