Two Chandler-Gilbert Community College student teams achieved first place in two different competitions at the Spring 2013 Avnet Tech Games on April 13. More than 70 community colleges and local, national and international universities participated in the event. Each student on the winning team received a $1,000 check to use toward their education.
