The organization is looking for 20 students in 3rd-5th grade in Trigg County to participate in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program. The group will meet on Monday and Thursday afternoons each week to work in teams to solve STEM challenges. They will also develop math and reading skills, make robots, practice coding, and do circuits.
During a presentation Tuesday to the members of the Cadiz Rotary Club, George Radford shared that students who want to participate can be dropped off after school – thanks to Trigg County Public Schools.
Radford said to best help students in the program they need consistent volunteers.
He added they are also working with Denise Young at Trigg County High School to find student volunteers.
The recent addition of the robotics program is because of grant funding and equipment donated by the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation. Genesis Express was also named the 2024 Tennessee Valley Authority North Nonprofit of the Year and received $15,000 in August.
