American Nuclear Society Grant!

I just got word from Ms Vasbinder that we've been approved for a grant from the American Nuclear Society!

ANS - RRSD: "One RRSD goal is to develop student interest and involvement in the field of robotics and remote systems for hazardous environments. To accomplish this, RRSD will fund student activities that relate to developing or applying robotics and remote systems for hazardous environments at the K-12 student level. Established K-12 educational institutions are eligible for student grants once every two years. Universities are not eligible for student grants."

We've been working on the grant for a couple of months now, and this is HUGE news for our Robotics program. We'll be able to add some seriously cool new tech and instruments to our supplies. Exciting!
