The Philadelphia Robotics Coalition is building an ecosystem of mentorship and support for the next generation of STEM and community leaders in the city of Philadelphia by supporting robotics programs for Philadelphia public school students. - We provide funding and support for student robotics teams to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST LEGO League international robotics competitions. - We organize workshops and competitions for the teams. - We provide training and support for coaches. - We connect teams with adult mentors who advise the students on programming, mechanical design, and presentation skills. Participation in a robotics program allows students to put what they learn in the classroom into practices, putting math and science to work, to engineer, and build a machine together. Students develop technical skills in engineering, math, and business. They also learn workforce skills like communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, and time management.
