We’re excited to share that MPC’s STEM Center, in partnership with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and STEAM & Robotics, Inc., donated robotics equipment to support Career Technical Education programs at Marina High School and Los Arboles Middle School 🤖⚙️
This equipment will help give students more hands-on experience with robotics, coding, engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving while helping prepare them for future careers in STEM fields.
Partnerships like these are so important because they create more opportunities for local students to explore, create, and learn through real-world experiences right here in our community.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, including MPC’s HSI-STEM grant for supporting the purchase of the equipment. We can’t wait to see what these students build!! 🦾
