Robotics And Beyond

Robotics And Beyond is a 501(c)3 organization focused on engineering, science and design, founded in 2004. We help young people discover and develop their talents in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) and Design-related fields, and inspire entry to these fields through insight to careers and education paths and the use of relevant resources and projects. Our programs are marked by the integration of very broad ranges of age, interest, ability, learning style and geographic origin which has yielded impressive results and synergies. Students find an atmosphere of freedom of ideas, freedom to try and fail and try again, and interest and objective commentary by peers. Barriers between ages, towns, schools, interests, abilities disappear. We create projects and use resources that are all relevant to careers and education paths to those careers, along with perspectives on both careers and education options. Our Peer-Mentoring and Internship programs have provided 1000’s of hours of invaluable learning and teaching experience for middle school, high school and college students. Peer mentoring for Robotics And Beyond is often cited by parents and students as the single most important and valuable experience of their pre-college years.
