Funds will help the laboratory acquire key design and development tools it needs to advance its mission and will go toward workstations, servers and software licenses, as well as to help fund a design competition for our students. Funds will also be used to support our outreach efforts to expose K-12 students to computer science and robotics in local schools. Funds will be used for education outreach program participant expenses (equipment for projects), student mentors expenses and the development of educational materials. Funds will also be used in support of our high school programming competition.
