Why Robotics?

Robotics teams are an innovative, effective way that schools across the country have begun to engage students in learning and applying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills, otherwise known as STEM skills.

Students who participate in robotics programs are 85% more interested in pursuing science & engineering careers.


This is an incredible way to inspire the next generation to understand and be excited about science and technology, which means we'll be on the way to developing and sustaining  an advanced manufacturing workforce here in Indianapolis.
