We are in the process of developing an automated factory simulated information system. This system is made
possible due to educational grants provided us by multiple grants from Jordan Fundamentals. We remain
indebted to this organization, and extremely grateful for the opportunity to bring STEM education and skills
training to our students.
What is presented is the efforts of the engineering and robotics students at Southeastern High School. All of the
work included in the Automated Factory Simulation System was (and continues to be) produced by students in
the Manufacturing-Track classes of Mr. V. Williams, Electronics/Robotics Day-Trade Teacher.
The following is a statement by Michael Jordan retrieved from the Jordan Fundamentals site:

“Dear Educator,
The Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program was born out of my firm belief that education is the key to opportunity
and to building commitment among students to the core values which foster personal excellence and
achievement. The core values which serve to guide the Jordan Brand are known as Brand Truth’s: Authentic,
Uncompromised, Earned and Aspirational. They embody the principles by which the Jordan Brand and I have
excelled and achieved beyond all expectations. It is in that spirit the Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program awards
one million dollars annually, to teachers across the country, who motivate and inspire students toward achieving
excellence. These grants are given to support teachers and provide access to additional resources. Your school
may be eligible for the Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program. For information about the program, including
eligibility requirements, please visit: www.jordanfundamentals.com. The program is presented by the Jordan
Brand, a division of Nike, Inc. and administered by Compass Consulting.

Innovation Grants: Grants averaging $2500 will be awarded to individual teachers for projects that will impact
classroom innovation and improve instruction.

Inspiration Grants: Winners of Innovation Grants may apply for an Inspiration Grant. Grants totaling $10,000 will
be awarded to teams of teachers in support of scaling-up implementation of approaches developed with
Innovation Grants.

Much Respect,

Michael Jordan”
