Robotics used to mean an intro to STEM subjects and head to college, but robotics is part of every career today. Kids are excited to build, program, and drive robots. Robotics can even help kids build friendships!
"I don't just want the next generation of STEM leaders & thought leaders, I want kids to learn to accept and understand. Robotics is a universal language for technology, acceptance, and making friends."
Dan Mantz is working with the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation to help kids engage with robotics at every age group and all types of machines. Their goal is to inspire students, one robot at a time.
