Reasons to Get Involved

1. The hardest fun ever.

Think. Create. Have fun. Robotics is a unique "sport of the mind" designed to help young people discover how interesting and rewarding the life of engineers and researchers can be.

2. Learn from the best.

Robotics teams are encouraged to have an engineer to help guide them to build a robot. Students learn how real engineers tackle real world problems.

3. There's a job for everyone.

You don't have to be a "techie" person to join a team. There's a job for everyone on a robotics team. Roles on a team range from fabrication and programming to public speaking and writing. Aside from building a robot, teams also need people interested in website design, graphics, 3D animation, documentation, and public relations.

4. Get involved with your community.

Robotics is a great way to spread the word of innovation, science, and technology throughout the community.

5. Scholarships for higher education.

Many colleges and universities offer millions of dollars worth of scholarships to hundreds of students who have committed to pursuing STEM education. These scholarships enable students to pursue majors and careers in engineering, computer science, electronics, animation, digital design, aeronautics, and many other technological fields.
