Welcome to STEMRobotics!
We are a non-profit group that is bringing Science T'echnology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to students by using competiton robotics.
Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.
