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.

The team received the Innovation in Control Award and earned 54 District Points.

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.
