Building a robot is only half of what we do. The other half is making sure STEM reaches kids and communities all across Illinois. Because our team is 100% sponsor-funded, every bit of that work is free for the students and families we reach.

In Their Words
From Our Community
"Thank you for all you do for the community; please don't hesitate to reach out if we can collaborate on any future projects"
"I wanted to thank you again for coming to the library and running the SPIKE robotics program! We had a parent follow up saying her son has been talking about it since, and called it an 'amazing learning experience.' We have had several parents ask if it is something we will have again."
