For the past five years, the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s (CCIU’s) Technical College High School (TCHS) has very generously supported Downingtown Area Robotics’ (DAR’s) educational program by providing us with a home in which the team and the program has been able to thrive and grow.  But nothing lasts forever and important new construction at the TCHS means that DAR will be moving to a new base.  Effective July 1<sup>st</sup>, DAR will operate out of 190 Exton Square Mall.

DAR is using this move as an opportunity to expand its program to serve younger students. When formed in 2011, DAR was an organization supporting FIRST<sup>®</sup> Robotics Competition (FRC) [[FRC Team 1640 | team 1640]] serving area high school students.  Our move to the TCHS in 2013 allowed the foundation of DAR’s FIRST<sup>®</sup> Tech Challenge (FTC) [[FTC Team 7314 | team 7314]], thereby broadening our service to include 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> grade students.  Now, with the move to Exton Mall, six FIRST<sup>®</sup> LEGO<sup>®</sup> League (FLL) Teams will join the DAR organization.  As a result, DAR will offer FIRST robotics programs for area students from 4<sup>th</sup> through 12<sup>th</sup> grades.  DAR is also starting a 2<sup>nd</sup> FTC team.

While DAR is leaving the TCHS, our partnership with the CCIU and TCHS remains important and strong.  We continue to cooperate in hosting educational robotics events including the D-Town Dust-off FLL scrimmage, the Downingtown FLL Qualifying Tournament and a TechGirlz workshop.
 
 
 
DAR is not school-affiliated and its robotics programs are open to all area students.  DAR is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization.
 
 
 
FIRST<sup>®</sup> (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology.  FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to become leaders and innovators, and enhance their work-life skills.
