My project STEM2Leaf Robotics is an organization that teaches underserved youth in San Diego County about robotics, specifically programming and engineering. STEM is an important aspect of youth education, but proper STEM education should go beyond traditional mathematics and science and include robotics. In addition, learning robotics is often a fun way of learning STEM, by moving beyond the theoretical into the practical, and it offers many real-world opportunities in the workplace. However, the problem is that underserved students are at a disadvantage because most robotics programs are expensive. My project offers free robotics education, including training and materials. We host monthly workshops at two Boys and Girls Clubs in San Diego County (La Colonia Branch and Griset Branch) where we teach girls and boys about engineering principles and various robotics parts and modules, including various sensor technology! This past year STEM2Leaf Robotics served over 80 girls and boys, and we plan to expand further into a third branch, host cross-branch competitions, and host FIRST LEGO League fundraising workshops to enable these workshops to be self-sustaining! STEM2Leaf Robotics hopes to help as many students as possible through free robotics education!
