WILL ALLEN FOUNDATION

Thanks to the generous support of the Eden Hall Foundation, our VEX IQ Team participated in their very first competition today at Woodland Hills! They've been working hard designing and building robots in preparation! 🤖  These talented Clairton students have channeled their energy and creativity into every part of the process, working hard to bring their vision to life. And they're standing out like the stars they are in their new bright orange tie-dye shirts! #VEXGO #FutureEngineers #STEMcompetition #WillAllenFoundation #ClairtonElementary #RoboticsReady

Today we were able to take Clairton City School District students to CMU’s National Robotics Engineering Center. They learned about different robots, why they are used, and how the skills they learn can be applied to future opportunities.

The health and wellness middle school students from Clairton finished up their first module with Angelique last Thursday so we celebrated with a little music therapy! 🎶 🎵 Check out the photos in the comments below.
