Foundation wins STEM grant

Fifty-five students at Edgewater High School will have the opportunity to learn and apply STEM skills beyond the classroom through an Innovation Generation grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions Inc. 

Edgewater High School Students enrolled in a Computer Animation and Robotics course will work in teams to build Lego Mindstorm Robots that will complete advanced tasks while incorporating sounds and expressions. Students will learn how computer animators bring life to robots and the real-world applications robotics has in business. Students also will benefit from the expertise of an industry professional from Dynamic Animation Systems who will guide and mentors the teams during weekly visits.
