Students and teachers at Gwinnett County’s Lovin Elementary School are making great strides toward the future. And Infinite Energy is proud to lend a hand to this innovative Georgia school.
Earlier in the year, we gave eight Gwinnett County schools more than $47,000 in grants aimed at boosting education in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM). Lovin Elementary, with a grant of more than $5,000, was one of those schools. Teachers there used the money to buy robotics kits. “We were very excited,” said Lovin Elementary teacher Carol M. “Kids love robots! I remember the first time my fifth-grade students saw Dash (educational robots). They squealed! They were so excited and would stay in during recess for the opportunity to explore.”
