A group of fourth-grade students from A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering were invited to represent North America at an international robotics competition. Fluor provided a funding challenge – matching all monies raised dollar-for-dollar – and funds were raised in record time. The AJW team is one of only three from North America invited. The 9- and 10-year-olds will compete against students up to age 15 from China, India, Russia, Brazil, Germany, Spain and 50 other countries.
