Consumers Energy is out in force this week at the FIRST Robotics state championships in Saginaw. Spokesperson Roger Morgenstern tells WSJM News that competition features robotics teams from all over the state, and Consumers has executives on site to cheer the teams on.

“This is really an important thing for us to sponsor because so many of our jobs in engineering and I.T. require people that have a STEM background,” Morgenstern said.

Morgenstern tells us Consumers Energy sponsors FIRST Robotics teams, knowing that some of those math and engineering geniuses will wind up working for the utility. The action got underway at Saginaw Valley State University Wednesday, and will continue through Saturday.
