Mission and Program Overview

Mission

STEM opportunities for students K-12

We mentor young people (Grades K through 12) as they learn to design, build and program robots, which are then taken to regional and national competitions. This practical, collaborative, hands-on experience in science and technology has proven invaluable to our students, many of whom have chosen to pursue a college education centered around STEM.
