The AMAP program is using VEX Robotics as an educational marketing tool to bring attention to Advanced Manufacturing in middle and high schools. VEX Robotics competitions will help students in middle school and high school not only learn about Advanced Manufacturing, but also help them work as a team, problem solve and use higher level thinking; it was easy to see how the AMAP team could use VEX to help bring teachers students to ECTC and see what VEX is all about. The AMAP grant provided a 4 day long Professional Development for 8 area teachers. The grant was then able to provide VEX Robotic Kits to teachers and schools within the grant service area to help them start or revive VEX clubs. ECTC will be hosting a scrimmage for these teachers and their students on December 14, 2024.
