We wrapped an amazing week of our BOOST Program (Boys Optimizing Opportunities in STEM & Technology) at MassRobotics! 🤖
During the school vacation week, students dove into hands-on robotics, exploring electronics, programming, and fabrication while building their own autonomous mobile robots.
They also visited @autodesk, @LocusRobotics, and @harmonicdrive , gaining real-world insight into robotics in action.
The week ended with showcasing their creativity, skills, and growth - driving the vehicles through obstacle courses.
Thank you to @Microsoft - sponsor of this year's program - and to our partners and mentors, as well as the students, for bringing incredible energy all week 🥳 🙌

MassRobotics hosted a two-day executive session for the sponsors who make our work possible. 🤖
Day 1 sessions included an exclusive tour of the MIT Media Lab with presentations from Cynthia Breazeal, Hugh Herr and Evan Holbrook about their research, followed by a private dinner.
Day 2 welcomed sponsors and startup CEOs for "Deep Tech Discussions", featuring a fireside chat between David Mindell and Tye Brady on topics ranging from The New Lunar Society, to space, to investing in deep tech. Pablos Holman (hacker and inventor) shared insights on where to focus energy and the types of technology needed to sustain the planet. Overall - an engaging and thought-provoking morning that left everyone inspired.
Thanks to all who participated and for your continued trust, partnership, and support.
