This year, \u00c1nimo College Prep Academy<\/a> (ACPA) students participated in the FIRST Robotics Competition<\/a>, an international tournament that combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science, and technology. In just six weeks, ACPA students designed, built, and programmed a 120 pound industrial sized robot. Although at first the task felt challenging, together ACPA students learned to problem solve, collaborate, and work through failure to achieve a shared goal. In today\u2019s technology driven world, the robotics program at ACPA is just one of the many ways Green Dot<\/a> is preparing students for future careers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
