Your United Way dollars at work

Posted on by

September 26, FSR students held a read-aloud event at the Newark Free Library. Students read from their self-published books, demonstrated remote control robots, talked about their experiences designing and building competition robots, and collected entries for their Draw Your Own Robot Contest, which they co-sponsor with the DE Children’s Museum.

MORE outreach at Newark Library

Your United Way support to First State Robotics improves the education of our students in more ways than you may think. Our students participate in outreach events in libraries, schools, museums, and other public venues in order to share what they’ve learned and encourage others to become interested in science, technology and engineering. Through outreach events, FSR volunteer students and mentors multiply the impact of your support many times.

Thank you for making this possible!
