Rockwell Collins Grants for Iowa FLL Teams

Camille — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:59:51 +0000

Through a gift to FIRST of over $1.3 million, Rockwell Collins has teamed with FIRST and ISU to promote FLL and FTC across Iowa. This exciting news allows FIRST programming to reach even more students and spread that engineering fever! We encourage you to look under the FLL tab and clicking on ”Start a Team” to learn more about a grant opportunity for new FLL teams, and we thank Rockwell Collins for their generosity and taking a leadership role in making engineering opportunities accessible to so many Iowans.
