THE SCHOLARSHIPS
REC along with universities/colleges offer scholarships to support students' STEAM educations and careers.
With the season wrapping up, it’s been great to see the growth and change that has occurred as the students have learned through mistakes and failures. Their ability to persevere in the face of challenges and frustrations has been one of their greatest accomplishments. This learning is what makes VEX a truly great program and unique experience for the students involved.

The biggest thing I notice is the change in abstract thinking. Many of my students start in 2nd-4th grade and when they first attend a camp or practice it is a real struggle for them to build or even think of items to build without step by step directions. Then you turn around and they have been in the program for 3 or 4 years and all of the sudden you as the coach are asking them “How did you do that?”
