Designatronics Inspires Future Engineers through Their Community Relations Program

Stock Drive Products Supports FIRST Tech Challenge

New Hyde Park, NY - Designatronics on-going investment in engineering community relations program is illustrated by their support of FIRST Tech Challenge. A recent request for assistance from students attending Lake Oswego High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon gave the opportunity to exhibit commitment to the community.

Founded by Dean Kamen in 1989, FIRST reaches over 400,000 students. FIRST is a group of mentor-based programs that build strong engineering, technology, science and math skills. Designatronics, a provider of engineered mechatronic solutions, shares in their goal to inspire students to think, create and build.

"We are very excited to be able to provide support to this FTC team," says Jacques Lemire, VP, Sales and Marketing. “FIRST provides a unique experience for students. While working with a professional they develop their ability to design and problem solve, building a solid base for future endeavors.”

Stock Drive Products sponsorship of FTC team #8466, Lake Oswego, Oregon has given this group of students the opportunity to bring their design to completion. Through the donation of the mechanical components, which the students had designed into their project, SDP is helping today’s students become tomorrow’s designers and engineers. “We are happy to hear that students are learning to use our website to specify parts for their designs and proud to be able to supply the timing belts and pulleys needed,” says Adele Hager, Director, Stock Drive Products.
