Arrow Electronics Hosts Robotics Workshop for Local Girl Scouts
DENVER, June 26, 2019 /3BL Media/ – Arrow Electronics hosted a robotics workshop at its Centennial, Colo. headquarters to help local Girl Scouts in 4th and 5th grade earn their “Designing Robots” badge. Twenty Girl Scouts participated in the program, learning to build robot prototypes from Arrow employees representing a range of departments and business units.
“We are grateful to all the Arrow employees who gave up a Saturday to help young girls gain hands-on robotics experience and widen their knowledge about STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Math) careers,” said Aimee Artzer, community partnerships manager at Girl Scouts of Colorado.
Arrow is committed to teaching girls and young women STEM skills. The company has worked with Girl Scouts of Colorado in the past to help members earn technology-oriented badges and is a longtime sponsor of Girls and Science, an annual education event hosted by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to inspire girls to pursue STEAM careers.
Girl Scouts of Colorado received a matching donation from Arrow for the hours employees provided through the company’s Dollars for Doers program.
