Each of these programs will receive VEX EDR Robotics kits from the U.S. Army.

COL (US Army Ret.) Michael Taliento, CMCSS Director of Army Instruction, said, “the JROTC Robotics Programs and these VEX kits seek to inspire students to become the problem-solving heroes of tomorrow.”

Robotics teams will consist of 4 to 6 JROTC cadets and other students who will be co-coached by both JROTC instructors and STEM or CTE teachers.

“Ultimately as leaders and educators, we hope our cadets and students develop a greater interest in STEM opportunities and seek out college or career pathways in the STEM environment,” stated COL Taliento.
