CCS Receives VEX Robotics Grant
Cabarrus County Schools received a grant from the Robotics
Education & Competition (REC) Foundation to continue its VEX
Robotics success. The first implementation of the grant began in
September as coaches from 27 schools attended training on how
to assemble and program robots. Coaches also learned how to use
the robots competitively with student teams from each school. REC
Foundation CEO Dan Mantz visited with coaches and district staff on
September 15th to kick-off the implementation.
