Students from Shelby County and surrounding areas will display their robotic constructions today from 9-10:45 a.m. at the MLGW Administration Building, 220 S. Main St.

This is the fourth year for this event sponsored by MLGW’s Junior Engineer/Professional Engineer (JEPE) program and TVA, which are partnering together to promote STEM education and involvement among the next generation of public power professionals.

Sixteen participating teams will unleash their creations to walk, crawl, carry loads or throw objects around the MLGW building lobby.

Students and their teachers or sponsors will be available to answer questions about the inventions.

 

MLGW is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving more than 429,000 customers in Memphis and Shelby County.
