Sunman Elementary robotics team benefits from technology grant

(SUNMAN, Ind.) – Sunman Elementary students are benefiting from a technology grant. 

The Sunman-Dearborn Educators Association provided funding to upgrade equipment for the Robotics Team. 

The robotics team is coached by Heather Lunsford and Mallory Hummer. They said the grant helped the students improve teamwork and sportsmanship this year.

“They competed at a competition and learned so much about how to become more competitive with other teams who have more experience,” Lunsford said. "I had one student who was able to program the robot quicker than in the past. Having the new robotic brain allowed him to code and have the robot drive autonomously.”

The grant was made possible through the Dearborn Community Foundation.
