As the robotics industry continues to grow in Massachusetts and around the world, it is increasingly necessary to prepare the next generation for their future careers. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines are in high demand for the growing robotics ecosystem.

MassRobotics STEM Mission

MassRobotics STEM mission is to inspire the next generation of innovators and create programs and classrooms to prepare students for the world of technology that we live in. Our STEM education goal is to facilitate relationships between the robotics community and the next generation of innovators.

Our objectives include:

• Bridging the gap between the robotics industry and education
• Creating pipelines to STEM careers
• Bringing robotics education to underserved communities
• Being a resource for schools and community organizations

2023 STEM IMPACT REPORT

Jumpstart Fellowship

• This program is designed to to encourage and empower diverse high school girls to pursue careers in robotics by giving them a solid foundation of technical skills as well as mentors and a professional network to give them the confidence and support they need to pursue a career in the tech field.  The program includes a paid summer internship at a robotics company where the student fellows can use their learned skills in real-world applications and meaningful work.
