Last December, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida’s Walt Disney World Clubhouse broke ground on a new robotics room. Named by students and made possible by a $500K Disney Grant, the Walt Disney World “Rock Star Robotics Center” is officially open.
- Leaders from both organizations were at the grand opening to celebrate the milestone with students.
- The opening of this robotics room is just the latest collaboration between Disney and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. The relationship spans over three decades and builds on a long legacy of supporting students as part of the Disney Future Storytellers initiative – actions being taken to empower the next generation of storytellers and innovators to dream about their futures, build their talents and become who they imagine they can be.
What they’re saying:
- Rena Langley, Senior Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs at Walt Disney World: “We always love seeing local students in our community dream big and grow their skills, and that’s why it’s been exciting to work with Boys & Girls Clubs to help bring this new robotics center to life.”
