Benson Robotics Cub has received a $6,000 grant from Boeing to participate in the FIRST robotics competition in Portland, Oregon. These grant funds insure equipment and competition registration costs can be met. Additional grant requests with PGE and NASA are pending, in addition to a CTE request with Benson High School through their smaller learning community grant.

Benson Robotics Club will be participating in a robotics exhibition and competition at OMSI on October 25. Entrance is free to club members and guests. Participants receive an additional discount to enter the paid portion of OMSI and a reduction in costs in OMSI's cafeteria.
