General Info
VEX Robotics Team 8926W, the Wigglebots, will host an exciting STEM event open to all girls first through fourth grades. GIRL POWERED is a global initiative sponsored by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF) which seeks to engage more young girls in science and technology. Students will hear from team member Sarah, a high school senior, about her journey in robotics and how it has shaped her educational and career goals. The students will then complete a robot design and building challenge and then test their creations on a real competition field! They will receive official GIRL POWERED swag at the conclusion of the evening. Let's build!
