Last week a home school robotics team from Russellville competed in the world robotics championship.
Power Supply, a team of middle school-aged home schoolers who meet weekly 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 participated in a competition at Arkansas Tech University, where the team won the top Excellence Award and secured an invitation to the 2024 VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas.
The championship included 420 teams from multiple countries competing in various events. Power Supply reportedly placed 52nd in their competition.
This is just one more example of the many ways home schooling gives students and their families the opportunity to thrive socially and academically.
