FPL sparks STEM dreams with the Electrathon America Initiative, lighting the path for Miami's future innovators
Florida Power and Light (FPL) is sparking enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by generously donating electric vehicle (EV) kits to students in the Electrathon America program. This initiative by FPL is a dynamic step towards empowering local high school students to dive into the exciting world of STEM through hands-on experiences in designing, building, and racing electric vehicles.
STEM: Driving innovation, one EV kit at a time!
In a boost to STEM education, FPL recently distributed EV kits and provided training to eager students in Miami-Dade as part of its commitment to supporting the Electrathon America initiative. This groundbreaking program not only equips students with tangible skills but also serves as a platform for cultivating a passion for STEM principles.
Robert Mantilla, a representative from FPL, shared his sentiments about the initiative, emphasizing the significance of giving back to the community. As an alumnus of Coral Park, Mantilla attributes his engineering success to the confidence instilled in him during his school years. Now working for FPL, he is thrilled to contribute to the next generation of engineers.
