Pipe & Steel Industrial

Yesterday was such an exciting day for our Wildcat Robotics family! We had the honor of welcoming Stacey Wilton from the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) to our classroom as she presented us with the Bentley STEM Grant Award.

This grant means so much to our students. Every dollar helps us continue growing our robotics program, expanding hands-on engineering opportunities, and preparing our teams for the upcoming FIRST Tech Challenge season. Seeing our students proudly hold their robots and celebrate this achievement made the moment even more special.

We are incredibly grateful to LTRC, DOTD, and the Bentley STEM initiative for their belief in our program and investment in the future of STEM education in Louisiana. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. 💛🤖💚

If you’d like to support our growing program, we’re always grateful for community partners. Your sponsorship helps our students learn engineering, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving.
