Mid school forms Robotics Club

Northwest Middle School students in Meridian, Miss., have formed a Robotics Club as part of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) focus within the Meridian Public School District. The club is comprised of approximately 20 students who meet once a week; and recently participated in the Mississippi Best Robotics Competition at Mississippi State University. “As technology becomes more and more a part of our daily lives,” said Daniel Roberts, Robotics Club sponsor. “It is this forward thinking that will broaden the horizons for all current and future Northwest students.” (Meridian Star 10/28/15) Central Mississippi Note: The Golden Triangle region is a hot bed of STEM activity and aerospace businesses.
