One of the benefits of our IN-MaC relationship is the yearly Micro-Grant Summit. Lisa Deck, IN-MaC Program Director, brings together educators, including FIRST robotics teams like PhyXTGears and industry leaders to hear about innovative programs to address the challenges of workforce development in Indiana.
