It provides a unique opportunity for young minds to explore the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) while fostering teamwork, problem-solving skills, and creativity.Each season, the organization introduces a new game challenge, allowing teams to build and design robots that can complete specific objectives. Students compete against each other at the regional, state, and international levels.
