(Radio Iowa) – NASA has provided grants to support robotics teams at four Iowa high schools. Chris Stevens is the Industrial Tech teacher at North Union High School in Armstrong where students are building robots.

North Union received a 63-hundred dollar NASA grant. Stevens says North Union is one of the smaller schools to have a team at robotics competitions.

Members of the North Union Robotics team fill a variety of roles.

The other NASA grants went to the “Tech Tiger” robotics team at Grinnell High School, the “Wild Wires” robotics team at Earlham High School and the B-C-L-U-W robotics team.
