Redcat supports Ten80 Education

PHOENIX - Feb. 25, 2020 - PRLog -- Redcat is proud to be part of innovative education. For several years, Redcat radio controlled vehicles have been used in a creative curriculum perfected by the Ten80 Education team. This organization wants to change the way traditional education is implemented. Ten80 Education teaches students K-12 the necessary knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today's commerce. With the help of Redcat RC vehicles, students are learning to use science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to overcome many levels of challenges and invent new solutions to problems they may encounter along the way.

We had a chance to interview Terri Stripling, president and CEO at Ten80 Education. We asked a few questions about their program and how Redcat has helped.

Redcat: "How do you feel Ten80 is changing education?"

Terri: "Meeting a variety of interests and learning styles, the suite of Ten80 Student STEM Challenges stimulates a love for math and science while helping students develop real-world skills. We want to inspire our students to think differently. Problem solving and innovative thinking should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, which is why we use Redcat radio controlled cars in our curriculum. We teach our students that doing things differently is a wonderful thing.

Redcat: "Would you say that Redcat vehicles are helping to develop real-world skills in your students?"

Terri: "Absolutely. Redcat's RC cars help students to embrace their curiosity, engage in creative problem solving and make data-driven decisions, which prepares them for current career opportunities, but also those jobs that don't yet exist."

Redcat: "That is wonderful to hear. How would you say Redcat is helping to inspire this next generation to become innovative thinkers?"

Terri: "Redcat's RC cars allow students to experiment with creative design solutions and find multiple approaches to solving a problem. Ten80 students don't just follow car assembly instructions. They engage their imaginations and critical thinking skills to turn innovative ideas into realities. This may mean creating and manufacturing an entirely new part from their own CAD designs."

"Ten80 Education provides a broad, balanced and connected STEM curriculum that excites and stimulates youth while also providing a range of skills that will prepare them for a wide variety of careers. Using the Redcat radio controlled cars, student teams seamlessly combine and apply 21st Century Skills to analyze data, debrief and obtain vital performance information in order to optimize car and team performance."

Redcat: "It is amazing to hear how much impact you've had on these young minds with the help of Redcat vehicles. We are so thankful for what you are all doing at Ten80 education. Thank you Terri."

Terri: "It is our pleasure and we thank you for your help and support."
