Focus Areas
Our community involvement can be separated into three main categories; click on each to learn more about our contributions:
The Mighty Monkey Wrenches, a FIRST Robotics Competition team from 2016, consists of students from Ewing High School (EHS) and the New Jersey School for the Deaf (NJSD). Each year, we have eight weeks to design and construct a robot that performs a unique set of tasks in the FIRST-sponsored competition, while promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) within our community. Our mission is to nurture the next generation of engineers, scientists, and technical business leaders.
