82% of RoboTigers are at an economic disadvantage. In our community, the poverty cycle limits access to both education and opportunities. We’ve been fortunate enough to have found STEM through FIRST. Since joining STEM our access to education and opportunities has increased,…

95% of RoboTigers live in minority-populated areas, 53% of the team lives in single-parent households,, and 90% of our parents didn’t know what STEM was prior to us joining.

If FIRST robotics was not offered at our school we would not be involved in STEM today. We have expe…

We strive to increase accessibility and inclusivity within STEM. We are working towards this goal by building our network of RoboTiger alumni through our Alumni Association program. Building an established network allows more individuals in our community to access opportunit…
