Explore 204
Indian Prairie is launching a new video series that invites you to take a look inside our schools. Each month, Explore 204 will bring you stories that highlight outstanding activities happening throughout the district.
Our first video features an all-girls elementary robotics club. In its first year, the club made it all the way to the VEX World Championship where they competed against teams from 29 countries. You can watch their story at Explore 204.
Thanks to funding from the Indian Prairie Educational Foundation (IPEF), robotics clubs are expanding this year to other schools. The IPEF has set a goal of raising $165,000 to support robotics and other STEM initiatives in District 204. Learn how every $1 donated can become $3 toward that goal thanks to a 2-for-1 Challenge Grant from the Dunham Fund. Visit IPEF for details.
Come Explore 204.
