Robotics inherently involves ingenuity. Charlie Craft and Shelby Abernathy displayed that quality in winning the 2021 Alabama Vex IQ Robot Skills Challenge Championship, and earning a berth in the Remote World Tournament later this month.
It was familiar territory for Charlie and Shelby in some ways. While students at Duck Springs Elementary, they joined the school’s Robotics Club in 2018 and along with teammates Tanner Harris, and Gabby Smith, won the 2019 Vex IQ Alabama State Elementary Robot Teamwork Challenge.
Fast forward to 2020-21. Charlie (Etowah Middle) and Shelby (Sardis Middle) moved to different schools. Etowah Middle had to suspend its competitive robotics program because of COVID-19 considerations; Sardis Middle doesn’t have a program.
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy is located in Northwood. It served students from Northwood, Strafford and surrounding towns.

WYOMISSING, Pa. While it was a winding road to graduation for Jake Cumens, it led him to a destination that exceeded his expectations. He will graduate as one of two student marshals from Penn State Berks on Saturday, May 8, with a bachelor of science degree in electro-mechanical engineering technology (EMET). Then in the fall, he will begin his studies at Lappeenranta–Lahti University of Technology (LUT University) in Finland, where he was awarded a full scholarship to earn his master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Cumens, of Honey Brook, was not planning to major in engineering when he began his studies at Delaware County Community College. He explained that he had a lot of interests, and initially planned to earn a liberal arts degree in music composition. He later shifted his focus to earning a degree in foreign language, as he was already learning several languages on his own.
