Optimum Announces Commitment to Local Students and STEM Learning Through FIRST® for a Sixth Year in a Row
Optimum’s funding commitment will sponsor over 60 high school teams and six regional competitions throughout its service area for the 2024 FIRST®
Optimum’s commitment to this community will help supply resources and tools needed for FIRST teams to build and program a robot to perform this season’s challenge, CRESCENDOSM.
