TVA, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Inc., a TVA retiree organization, is investing in youth through the new TVA Robotics Award Program in addition to the TVA STEM classroom awards program that began in 2015.
The authority said, in contrast with the STEM awards, robotics awards are only available to official robotics programs and are to be used to help cover costs associated with robotics teams and/or competition.
Applications opened on April 1 and were reviewed from May 15 to July 25. According to TVA’s website, 169 schools and/or non-profit organizations received awards.
