OMRON has announced it will donate $10,000 to the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation in support of its “Girl Powered” initiative, which provides teachers and mentors resources for co-ed or all-girl competitive robotics programs. The contribution from OMRON Foundation, Inc. was boosted by matching funds generated from social sharing by attendees and followers of the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
“OMRON supports development of the next generation of leaders in science, technology, engineering and math,” said Nigel Blakeway, managing executive officer of OMRON Corporation. “We believe in the mission of the REC Foundation, and CES presents an outstanding opportunity for us to engage others in the cause.”
