Vector Space is partnering with local engineering, educational, and workforce partners to bring an amazing opportunity to teens: competition robotics! Join us on Thursday, September 19 from 6:30-7:30pm in the E.C. Glass High School Cafeteria to meet FRC teams from around the state and learn more about Lynchburg's new team.We'll have food, prizes, and robots for you to check out. Each teen that attends is eligible for our awesome door prizes:

This exciting new opportunity combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of STEM, FIRST® Robotics Competition (ages 14-18 / grades 9-12) teams use sophisticated technology to build and program industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed, alliance-based game on a themed field that changes every year. With guidance from mentors and sponsors, students learn engineering and problem-solving skills that they can apply to real-world situations today and in the future. Teams of students compete for awards, while they also create a team identity, raise funds, hone teamwork skills, and advance respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.
Parents are invited to attend as well, to learn more about the student commitment for FRC participation. Community partners will have information on additional STEM opportunities and careers.
