MIAMI (AP) — Florida International University has received a $2 million grant to use robots to teach science, technology, engineering and math to middle school students.

The Florida Department of Education gave the grant to the university's Student Access and Success program.

The university held a demonstration earlier this week with students from Edison Park K-8 Center to show how the EV3 Robotics Program works.
