In partnership with the non-profit STEM organization FIRST New Hampshire Robotics, Breezeline developed the scholarship for students participating in the FIRST Robotics program. Beck served as a captain for his robotics team, The Screaming Eagles, which built robots to contend in competitions across New England.
“Our goal is to spark students’ interest in STEM,” said Ken St. Hilaire of FIRST New Hampshire Robotics. “We are proud that FIRST Robotics helped Damian discover a passion for engineering.”
