After receiving many submissions from qualified applicants, we are pleased to announce that we have chosen to award the In-Position Technologies’ RENi Grant for Dobot Magician Robot Labs to Copley High School in Copley, OH! Special thanks goes to Engineering teacher Kirby Harder for applying on behalf of Copley High School. We would also like to thank all teachers and staff who applied for the RENi Grant. We appreciate the time and effort that you put in to filling out the applications and we hope to assist you in any way that we can in getting the Dobot Magician’s into your classrooms!
The RENi Grant includes:
• 6 Educational Dobot Magician’s
• 3 conveyor belt kits
• 1 linear rail
• 3 units of curriculum
Copley High School is a suburban district with a diverse student population (over 23 languages represented) with high student achievements. Students often participate in engineering competitions, provide services to the community and host fundraising events in order to grow the technology program. Mr. Harder’s engineering program has been certified by the Ohio Department of Education. This certification allows the students who have successfully completed one year of engineering to be eligible to receive credit at various colleges and universities in the state of Ohio.
Another unique aspect of Mr. Harder’s engineering program is the increase of female student participation. This year, an all-female team (The CHS Lady Engineers) entered the SourceAmerica Design Challenge and they were selected as one of five teams to compete at the national competition in Washington, D.C. These young women were passionate about helping workers with disabilities and they were able to create an invention that enabled employees at Weaver SecurShred to complete a process more effectively and safely. This achievement, coupled with their National SourceAmerica Design Challenge selection didn’t go unnoticed and they were featured on the “Girls in STEM” series produced by WKYC, Channel 3. Mr. Harder’s technology program allows and encourages students to make a positive impact on the world.
We hope to award a grant next year so please stay tuned!
