On April 1st, the first PAEC VEX contest hosted by Liberty County School District was a massive success, bringing together 122 teachers and students from 34 teams from across the panhandle! They participated in hands-on learning in coding, engineering design, and real-world work skills leading up to the contest. Materials were provided through grant assistance from Florida Commerce, CareerSource Florida, and CareerSource Chipola. Over 1,000 students were impacted by the grant materials throughout classrooms in the panhandle. Thank you to Rex Lumber for the additional sponsorship at the contest!
