Our Impact

Since 2005, our Robotics programs have provided students with opportunities to learn about engineering, manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and industry applications.

Our programs have achieved success at both regional and world competitions, reflecting the hard work, time, and dedication invested by our students and coaches.

Through a pipeline of robotics programs available to students in both the lower and upper schools, learning is strengthened by inspiring younger students, creating mentorship opportunities, expanding access to STEM, and building connections among the school, families, industry partners, and the broader community.

These robotics programs create meaningful impact by equipping students with the technical, academic, and leadership skills needed for future success, while also enriching the community through outreach, mentorship, and greater access to hands-on STEM learning.
