Recognizing a need in the community for non-profit support for STEM and Robotics programing, Team 977- Cometbots worked with local officials, partnered to create Southern Virginia Robotics, a public 503 (c) (3) in the Spring 2024.
Mission: Southern Virginia Robotics (SVR) is an organization that is committed to inspiring students to build skills and knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
SVR currently supports a FIRST Robotics competition team at Halifax County High School, Team 977, the Cometbots. Students engage in mentor-based projects that build skills in STEM as well as communication and leadership. Students are well prepared to contribute to our community.
