WHAT WE DO
We inspire and engage young people from all walks of life to be curious, creative, responsible and bold in pursuing science, technology, engineering and math careers.
For over four years, we have hosted some of the largest and most significant robotics/STEM events in South Florida. With over 5,000 attendees per year, our events are known for featuring the best robotics and AI talent from K-12 grade in the state.
