STEM Camp FOUNDATION is pleased to sponsor the FIRST Robotics Team WIRED with a grant of $1,000 to carry on their work with Grade 9 and 10 students from College Avenue Secondary School and Woodstock Collegiate Institute in Woodstock, ON. WIRED is an acronym for Woodstock Intercollegiate Robotics and Engineering Dominators, a group of 20 high school students who meet three days a week, after school hours. Their mission is to design, construct and program a robot from top to bottom that will perform a specific set of tasks.

Students are using a wide variety of STEM skills during this process, gears, pulleys, belts, electrical systems and Java coding principles. Students learn teamwork, problem solving, design, scientific principles, and perform engineering and mathematical calculations by working on their robot. These WIRED students will also be carrying their learning forward by creating an outreach program for elementary schools in May this year.

STEM Camp Foundation accepts grant applications from elementary teachers for projects that will help support STEM projects in their schools. Submissions are received online twice a year, by September 30^thand by January 31^st. Decisions are made early in the following month and funds distributed to successful candidates in October and February each school year.
