Consolidated Electric donates $5,000

Consolidated Electric Cooperative of Mount Gilead donated $5,000 to the Tri-Rivers’ RAMTEC Vex Robotics League, Friday, March 13, 2015.

“These funds will be used to develop new programs in Morrow County,” said Ritch Ramey, RAMTEC Coordinator. “Donations like this
help to reach more young people and sustain Vex Robotics. I like to say that Vex robotics is where erector sets meets computers.”

The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). These are just a few of the many fields students can explore by creating with VEX Robotics technology. Beyond science and engineering principles, a VEX Robotics project encourages teamwork, leadership and problem solving among groups. It also allows educators to easily customize projects to meet the level of students’ abilities. The  VEX platform is expanding rapidly and is now found in middle schools, high schools and university labs around the globe.
