The Tri-Rivers RAMTEC Vex Robotics League has earned a Honda North
America grant for $25,000 to increase student interest in becoming
future manufacturing and engineering technicians, according to
Ritch Ramey, RAMTEC Coordinator.
The grant, written by Ramey, will help Central Ohio schools expand
their engineering technology awareness and Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum. Since 2003 Ramey and
area Industrial Technology and STEM instructors have successfully
implemented more than $800,000 worth or STEM curriculum into
area schools.
Ramey said students are taught programming, gearing, torque, motors drives
and various mechanical concepts through this event and camp. These concepts
can then be applied to any engineering technician problem they may face in their
careers. It also allows them to experience problem solving careers such as that of mechatronic technology. For more information on the RAMTEC Vex Robotics League, contact Ramey at 740-389-8539.
