It’s Back to School Season

The last few days of summer are winding down as students begin to prepare for another school year. We would like to wish students the best of luck in their studies and to also remind drivers to please be cognizant of school buses in their daily commute. Have a very happy 2021-2022 school year!

Future Ready Robotics Camp a Huge Success

Future Ready Robotics Camp took place at St. Louis Catholic School on July 13th, 14th, and 15th where thirty-three students from various schools throughout Ripley County participated in the three-day camp.  Students were divided into teams to build a robot that could compete in the VEX IQ 2021-2022 “Pitching In” Challenge. In this challenge, teams worked together to score as many points as possible by manipulating yellow balls into certain areas on the playing field with plows, scoops, friction grabbers, and/or catapults.

Sponsors for Robotics Camp included Amack’s Well, Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, Purdue IN-MaC, Ripley County Community Foundation, Ripley County Court Services JDAI, and St. Louis Catholic School. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to teach students about robotics!

Students Are Dreaming Big After Kids Building Bikes Camp

Kids Building Bikes Camp served as the second stepping stone to The Great STEM Bike Ride, which took place in Versailles over the course of four consecutive Fridays in July.  Eight students worked in Nine13sports’ mobile bike lab where they learned all about the power of a bicycle and how to properly assemble, maintain, and fix one. As a celebratory effort for everyone successfully building their bicycle, the last day of camp ended with students taking an hour bike ride around the Versailles area and to Emily’s Brew for a sweet treat!

We would like to once again thank our amazing sponsors for making this camp possible: Global Atlantic Financial Group, Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, McDonald’s of Southeastern Indiana, Ripley County Community Foundation, Ripley County Court Services JDAI, Tyson Activity Center, and the United Way of Franklin County.
