Hagerman Scholarship

     This past spring, Mark and Kent Hagerman created an endowed scholarship in memory of their father, Theodore F. Hagerman, owner and chairman of the board of Hagerman Construction Corporation. Theodore Hagerman passed away last winter. He had been a loyal and strong supporter of the School of ETCS' Scholarships for Excellence Program and a friend of IPFW for many years.
     This endowed scholarship account will provide in perpetuity an annual scholarship to deserving students majoring in construction engineering technology for years to come. A student must have completed 30 hours and earned a "B" average in prior course work to apply for the scholarship.
     We are very grateful to the Hagerman family for their generous gift. With this gift, they provide an investment in our community's youth and at the same time, a lasting memorial to one of Fort Wayne's construction industry leaders.

Robot Invasion
Robotic Camp for Children      We are planning our first robotics camp for children ages 8-14 to be on April 29, May 6, May 13, and May 20. The camp will hold a morning and afternoon session each Saturday. The morning session will enroll only girls and the afternoon session will enroll both boys and girls. Each session is limited to an enrollment of 20 children. In this camp, tames of children will design, build, and program a mobile robot made out of Lego® parts, sensors, and the RCX controller. Robotic projects involve a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, physics, math, biology, psychology, engineering, and are. the objective of this camp is to simulate children's interest in technical disciplines. The Fort Wayne branch of the American Association of University Women Trust has generously donated funds to support this camp. For more information, please call Brenda Groff at 481-5709 or email groff@ipfw.edu.
