AFCEA Vice President of Education Jessica Morganstern visited ICS in December to meet with Middle School students and present the award check to students and administrators. At the time of her visit, the students were excited about the upcoming arrival of the robotics kits. Since then, the kits have arrived and will be officially premiered in the sixth grade Mars projects this spring.
