“All American citizens need high quality STEM education that inspires them to know more about the world around them, engages them in exploring challenging questions, and involves them in high quality intellectual work. STEM education is no longer only for those pursuing STEM careers; it should enable all citizens to solve problems, collaborate, weigh evidence, and communicate ideas.” — Barack Obama
Robotics is an important component of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education. Hoping to inspire a new crop of engineers, many educators are turning to robotics, holding design competitions, and challenging classmates to outdo one another in a battle for technical supremacy. When it comes to engaging students in technical disciplines, few activities are a bigger draw than robotics.
SDSA provides 7th–12th grade students the opportunity to learn more
about and use basic skills that are important to modern robotics through innovative
programs like Botball and FIRST Robotics.
