A home school robotics team from Arkansas recently secured a spot in a world robotics championship, according to KARK News.

Power Supply, a team of middle school-aged home schoolers who meet every week at the Pop County Library in Russellville, built a robot using parts by VEX IQ.

In February the team won the Design Award at the Panther Palooza robotics tournament in Clarksville and received the VIQRC Excellence Award at the Little Hurricane Valentine Classic in Jonesboro.

In March Power Supply competed at a competition at Arkansas Tech University, where the team won the top Excellence Award, securing an invitation to the 2024 VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas next month.

This is yet another example of the many ways home schooling gives students and their families the opportunity to thrive socially and academically.
