Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We are working to address the achievement gap between low income and high income students. There isn't enough time, money, and attention paid toward students in these areas, especially regarding STEM. What results is an America that faces a severe underutilization of talent in lower income communities that could easily be tapped with investment. They want to learn. The question is if there is anyone who can teach them.
Our programs

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
At Robotics for All, we believe that it is important for students to have access to a quality STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experience, regardless of socio-economic status. Our mission statement is:
"Robotics for All strives to educate students at schools with over 50% students from low income families in the STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) field to help them gain beneficial skills which will be useful throughout the rest of their academic and professional careers."
To achieve our mission, Robotics for All will provide quality education in robotics and will:
Never charge a student for materials.
Recruit qualified and passionate volunteers to teach our curriculum that has been optimized for a variety of learning styles.
Ensure that every student has fun in the class and shares the love of learning.
Robotics for All believes that these steps will help further its mission statement.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We teach classes in specially designated areas with at least 50% low income students. We have many volunteers recruited to create a 3:1 student teacher ratio to ensure that there is the maximum support for the students taken the lessons.
We have 4 different educational programs that all offer STEM classes in a variety of ways to students and partner organizations that might not otherwise have access or be able to offer this type of content.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization has many full time student and adult volunteers, low overhead, and a national presence. We've been doing this for over 6 years and have developed strong relationships with partner organizations to roll out programs nationwide.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have taught STEM courses to over 2500 students and have greatly expanded our operations through our 4 different program areas. We also have over 200 volunteers writing curriculum and teaching classes globally. We are working to expand our reach and impact more lives through our newest program: Curriculum Partnerships which brings our content to more students by partnering with schools, clubs, and organizations that are looking for this type of content but lack access to the curriculum and kits to make it possible.
