Teach robotics to students from low income families in a Robotics for All class. Each volunteer will teach a group of three-four students using Robotics for All curriculum. The curriculum is based off of Lego Mindstorms hardware and software, and minimal prior experience is required. Earn community service hours through this exciting opportunity!
Anyone in high school or beyond may volunteer with Robotics for All.
Robotics for All is currently recruiting volunteers for classes at Lakewood Elementary School, starting March 21st. The session will run for weekly for seven weeks (March 21st, 28th, April 4th, 11th, 25th, May 2nd, 9th), from 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm. Note that there is no class on April 18th due to Spring Break.

Mission Statement
Mission: Robotics for All aims to inspire the next generation of students and volunteers to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background. Robotics for All strives to provide equitable educational opportunities to students of all backgrounds, particularly low income and under-represented students, with an emphasis on teaching the fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The goal is to reduce the opportunity gap, allowing students to gain beneficial skills for the rest of their academic and professional careers. We believe that it is important for students to have access to a quality STEM education, regardless of socio-economic status.
Description
Founded in April 2017 and officially incorporated in July 2018, Robotics for All aims to bridge close the opportunity gap by providing equitable educational opportunities to students of all backgrounds, particularly underrepresented and underserved students. Our organization previously only provided in-person classes. In July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned our program to an online setting and experienced breakneck growth. In just 5 months, we taught the same number of students as we did in our first 3 years of operations. Our current online classes are for K-8 grader and teach a variety of platforms including Code.org, Scratch, and Python.
Robotics for All is volunteer-based, with currently over 100 volunteers at the time of writing. Our volunteers hail from dozens of states across the United States and several other countries. We encourage you to apply to join our growing community of volunteers.
