Kelsey Holec '06 was mentioned in a CNN feature about the World Robotics Tournament at the Georgia Dome. Holec, a first-year Teach for America corps member at Carver School of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, was convinced by her students to serve as a coach for this years' robotics team. Her inspired group of high school students had only six weeks to build, test and tweak their machines. Their hard work and dedication were rewarded when their Vex (small) and FIRST (big) robots took 18th and 35th in the World Tournament.
