Another year has come and it is time for Robotics Competitions across the State of Alabama. On this year a unified team consisting of students from Notasulga High School, Tuskegee Institute Middle School, and Booker T.

We are now talking applications for the Winter 2014 semester. All classes are taught at the CTC and are one-day a week after school.

Please see how dedicated these students are towards their future as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) proficient high school graduate.
