Making a Difference: Making a Difference – Tronox
Engineering students are growing up to change the face of technology, an endeavor to which the students of Basic High School’s Robotics Team clearly aspire. Thanks to a generous donation from Henderson company Tronox, this enterprising young group continues making strides toward new innovations.
The Basic High School Robotics Team teaches students the engineering components of robotics and how to build robots through advanced production methods. Tronox recently contributed a $5,000 donation to benefit the team and has also asked engineering leaders from its Henderson plant to help mentor participants. A global leader in the production and marketing of titanium products, Tronox has made numerous contributions to local schools and charities over the years.
“We are grateful to have Tronox as a community sponsor and partner of the team,” says Mark Reed, head of the Robotics Team. “It is through partnerships like these that we can foster educational growth in our students, and it is something we wouldn’t otherwise have the funding for.” Rick Stater, Henderson Plant Manager for Tronox, added, “We are proud to be contributing to such an admirable cause. At Tronox, we place a particularly high level of importance on helping to fund educational extracurricular efforts.”
Thanks to the giving spirit of local companies such as Tronox, students from southern Nevada high schools will continue to excel and make progress toward a better future for everyone, turning good will and generosity into results that can change the world.
