You have been invited to the following event.

Title: New River Robotics Association Ribbon Cutting & Open House
The New River Robotics Association presents their Ribbon Cutting and Open  
House on Wednesday, July 17, 2019 at Virginia Tech Corporate Research  
Center.

The New River Robotics Association (NRRA) has moved to a bigger spot within  
the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center! Visit our new location, learn  
about FIRST Tech Challenge and the Tuxedo Pandas, as well as all the  
robotics competitions in the FIRST family, open to grades K through 12.

Learn about the Summer Build-Shops that will be offered to students in  
rising grades 7-9 every Monday and Tuesday from 4:30-6:30 PM. Boys and  
girls are encouraged to work as a team on a claw grabber game and possibly,  
a NERF combat robot. Building a robot this summer may inspire a desire to  
join the 2019-2020 FTC team and compete in a worldwide robotics challenge.

The ribbon cutting with the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce will be  
held at 1:30 pm.

The new location will offer more space to learn about tools,  basic  
machining, programming, 3-D printing, computer-aided designing, and of  
course, robot building. The NRRA will continue to offer volunteer time and  
energy to promote STEM in the New River Valley. These volunteers are local  
business leaders dedicated to inspiring young people by engaging them in  
STEM via robotics competitions, outreach activities, workshops and  
experiments. NRRA will also continue to offer assistance to educators and  
parents who want to be involved in the family of FIRST opportunities.

On a related note, the FTC Team 4924, Tuxedo Pandas, is looking for 7th-9th  
grade students interested in learning more about robotics, CAD, machining,  
marketing, programming and building.

The address of the new facility is located at 2270 Kraft Drive in Suite  
1900 in Blacksburg, VA within the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.
