The STEM Achievers initiative is sponsored by Verizon and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE). This program brings project-based, tech-powered learning to underserved middle schoolers across the country. With a focus on design thinking, 3D printing, augmented reality, and robotics, the program prepares students to explore future careers in STEM while building the confidence to lead.

At Rose City Robotics, we’re proud to contribute to this mission by introducing students to engineering concepts through mentorship, hands-on experimentation, and an equity-first approach to education.
