Weldon Robotics
Congratulations to Weldon City Schools for receiving a $71,302.54 grant to begin an after-school Robotics program for students in grades four through twelve.
A robotics club is like a playground for young engineers and tech enthusiasts, where they can design, build, and program robots while having fun with like-minded people. It’s the perfect place to let imagination run wild and build cool machines that can perform different tasks or compete against other teams.
Developing skills in engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork can prepare children for future careers in STEM fields. Kids can learn to build various robots, such as robots that follow a line, avoid obstacles, robot arms, and drones. They can also program their robots to transport objects, navigate mazes, or play games.
A survey by the National Science Foundation found that the number of robotics programs is steadily increasing as more schools recognize the importance of robotics education in preparing students for future careers in STEM fields.
