Summary:
Staff requests approval to submit a grant to Tesoro to fund a new FIRST Robotics Competition team at College Park High School (CPHS). The FIRST Robotics Competition is a nine month project where teams across the country construct robots in response to a design challenge (http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc). The CPHS STEM Tesoro grant will promote teacher professional development and collaboration, STEM learning opportunities for students and a STEM culture at CPHS. In addition, it complements and aligns to the other existing Tesoro grants; Middle School STEM After School Clubs, Summer Girl Camp Summit and STEM & Ed Tech Symposium.

The funding will support the development of the new FIRST Robotics Competition team ($25,000) for 30 students. Grant funding would support materials, staffing, planning/collaboration time, professional development and other related program expenses.
