Supporting STEM - Fred Spiegel, President of Spiegel Lease Corp.

Through the substantial generosity of Mr. Fred Spiegel, President of Spiegel Leasing Corp. (donation of a 2200 sq. ft. facility), a displace FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team now has a place to assemble their robot and practice for the upcoming season. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. If your business needs space that will protect your business through a Hurricane, please visit Mr. Spiegel’s website.
