Robotics in the community Currently there are two middle school teams in the area: Granite Hills Middle School Mile High Middle School We are looking to help and expand to the High Schools in the area

Robotics in The Community Cont. (National Science Math Initiative, 2014)

ROBOTICS IN THE Community Cont. 26 percent of 2009 U.S. students took Algebra I before high school. Students who progress through at least Algebra II in high school are twice as likely as those who do not to complete a four-year degree. In 2008, 59 percent of all jobs in the U.S. economy required post-secondary education. (Up from 28 percent in 1973.) By 2018, it is projected that 63 percent of all jobs in the U.S. economy will require post-secondary education.  (National Science Math Initiative, 2014)
