• Curriculum Design: Exercise professional autonomy to determine the program's competitive direction�either continuing with FIRST Robotics competitions or pivoting to equivalent high-level, project-based learning (PBL) experiences.
• Recruitment & Growth: Actively build program enrollment through school-sponsored events, community outreach, and student recruitment initiatives.
• Budget Management: Strategically leverage allocated grant funds to procure equipment, technology, and materials necessary for a modern robotics lab.
