Our story

Kenneth R. Vessey Jr. had a positive impact on everyone that he came in contact with. He was a talented engineer and had encyclopedic knowledge when it came to safety practices. Ken was incredibly generous with his time and effort and he loved seeing everyone around him succeed and thrive. He was beloved by the entire FRC robotics community.

Our goal

The purpose of this fund is to provide a source for the Kenneth R. Vessey Jr. Robotics Scholarship that I want to offer to students in a region of New York State. This scholarship will be rewarded in memory of one of the mentors of FRC Robotics Team 3624 - a man who gave a great deal of time and effort to spreading awareness in the area of safety and encouraged young people everywhere to pursue careers in STEM fields.

Ken was a remarkable individual who dedicated his life to teaching and inspiring young minds both at UL Solutions and the Robotics program. His passion for robotics and his community was evident in everything he did. He truly enjoyed spending time with the kids, sharing his knowledge, and fostering a love for learning. This scholarship is a wonderful idea! It honors his legacy and continues an awesome mission of Ken's. We miss you Ken!!
