Teaching 📚 Robots 🤖 Beetles 🐞
What do they all have in common? Troy 🚗
Troy Rivers, a 3rd grade teacher and robotics team coach, turns heads when he pulls into the Rosebud ES parking lot in one of the classic Volkswagen beetles in his collection. Recently, Mr. Rivers’ passion for teaching and his love of Volkswagen Beetles also caught the attention of VW of America. The company selected Mr. Rivers and his car collection for an owner spotlight video. Volkswagen was working with Donorschoose this summer and wanted to put a spotlight on a teacher. They found Mr. Rivers and reached out to him on Instagram. “It was amazing to have an experience like this with my students,” says Mr. Rivers. “It was great to see a few students over the summer and for us to see together just how much work goes into filming a video.”
