SHPE Cincinnati has been coaching students from AMIS (Academy For Multilingual Immersion Studies) for over 5 years now. 

Today our students participated in a qualifying tournament, and while they didn't advance to the next round, they won the Judges Award for "We Work Together" !!!!! 

Clearly the best teamwork!!!

If you would like to help young students in the Elementary School to learn technology (Robotics, Computers) please join SHPE Cincinnati!!! 

We're always looking for volunteers!, please contact us
